We will learn a lot about the Chicago Bears vs the Green Bay PackersVincent Pariseon September 18, 2022 at 4:13 pm

Last week, the Chicago Bears had a very nice comeback win over the San Francisco 49ers at Soldier Field. This is a team that came into the season with very low expectations. Now, after a big win over what is supposed to be an elite team, people are wondering what the Bears actually are.

Well, we will learn quickly. In week two on Sunday Night Football, the Chicago Bears will take on the Green Bay Packers on the road. Lambeau Field has been a house of horrors for the Chicago Bears over the years so that certainly makes it a tough matchup.

The Packers come into almost every season as the favorite to win the NFC North Division. However, the Minnesota Vikings will have a lot to say about that and they proved it with their big win over the Packers last weekend.

Now, last week’s big win for the Bears had a few asterisks next to it. The first one is that the game was played in some of the heaviest rain conditions that you can imagine. Neither Justin Fields nor Trey Lance was able to have their proper footing or grip on the football.

The 49ers also played themselves out of the game because of penalties. You can expect neither of those things to dramatically affect the game on Sunday night against the Packers. This is the time when we will see who the Bears truly are.

The Chicago Bears have a chance to surprise everyone on Sunday Night Football.

Green Bay is not an elite team anymore. They are supposed to have a really good defense but they looked horrible against Minnesota. Aaron Rodgers no longer has his top wide receiver target in Devante Adams and his offensive line is very injured. This is a game that the Bears can win.

If Chicago does win this game against their biggest rival, they will certainly be considered one of the surprise teams to start the season and the attitude on the year as a whole will change. It would be nice to see Justin Fields go out there and dominate like we know he is capable of doing.

The Bears don’t get a lot of respect around the NFL and a lot of it is well deserved. With that said, if they go out there and play disciplined football with maximum effort, they are going to surprise some people this season. We can only hope they get it done and start 0-2 while sending Green Bay to 0-2.
