Well, that's what the Green Bay Packers did at Soldier FIeld Thursday night.
A low-scoring, relatively sloppy offensive showing -- for both sides -- sent the Packers back to Wisconsin with a 1-0 record to open the NFL's 100th season. So for the first Game Notes column of the regular season, I couldn't be more thrilled to be recapping this victory of all victories.
No, I promise you I don't care that it was only the season opener and 15 games remain on the schedule. The Bears choked away last year's opener but ended up winning the division.
