This was supposed to be the year, the week, the game, when the Chicago Bears’ fortunes against the Green Bay Packers were going to change. That was the narrative all offseason from Bears fans, who celebrated Aaron Rodgers’ departure from Green Bay with great fervor.
But alas — it seems that Rodgers has handed the deed to the Bears’ organization over to Jordan Love.
The Packers dismantled the Bears 38-20 on Sunday afternoon in a game that probably was not as close as the final score suggests. Once Green Bay got its offense in gear — starting with a last-second field goal to close the first half and a quick touchdown drive to start the second — it was all over, with only one small blip in the demolition resulting from a series of personal foul penalties.
