It was supposed to be a new era for the Bears, but Sunday looked all too familiar to Chicago fans.
The Packers marched into Soldier Field without Aaron Rodgers, the man who has tortured their franchise for years, with Jordan Love set to start under center. The Bears, with their own franchise quarterback and new-look squad after an offseason spending spree, were intent on ending Green Bay’s dominant ways.
Except they didn’t. Love started his tenure as the face of the Packers franchise with 245 passing yards and three touchdown passes in the lopsided 38–20 affair. It marked Green Bay’s ninth consecutive victory over Chicago.
