The Chicago Bears’ 2019 season gets started in primetime against the Green Bay Packers on Sept. 5 in a game that could set the tone for the rest of the year. Unlike last season when coach Matt Nagy and QB Mitch Trubisky were somewhat unknown commodities, expectations for this team, this year, are much higher.
It won’t be easy, however. The Bears’ regular-season schedule includes a four-game stretch to end the year that’s as challenging as any in the NFL. They play the Cowboys, Packers, Chiefs and Vikings in successive weeks at a time when the division title and a playoff birth may be on the line.
