The Green Bay Packers (0-0) will visit the Chicago Bears (0-0) in the first game of the 2019 NFL season on Thursday night. This matchup marks game No. 199 in what is the NFL’s oldest rivalry.
The Packers hold a 97-95-6 over the Bears in the all-time series, which includes two playoff games (1-1). Green Bay has won eight of the last nine games at Soldier Field.
The Packers will enter the contest reloaded on both sides of the ball while under the direction of first-year head coach, Matt LaFleur. With many starters sidelined and an overall vanilla playbook during the preseason, this will be the true unveiling of the new offensive scheme.
NBC will broadcast this nationally-televised game. Al Michaels (play-by-play) will be joined by Cris Collinsworth (analyst) in the booth with Michele Tafoya reporting from the sidelines.
The game can be heard over Milwaukee’s WTMJ (620 AM) and the Packers Radio Network, which is made up of 50 stations in five states. Wayne Larrivee (play-by-play) and Larry McCarren (analyst) will call the game. The game will also be aired over Westwood One Sports and the WTMJ feed of Sirius Satellite Radio.
