The opening game for the Chicago Bears’ 2023 season features a mix of old and new.
When it comes to the NFL’s oldest rivalries, it doesn’t get better than Bears-Packers, and the league’s schedule-makers wasted no time setting up a matchup between the two teams. The Bears will welcome their longtime NFC North nemesis to Chicago to kick off the 2023 campaign.
As for the players taking the field in the Week 1 showdown, there’s plenty of “new” on both sides.
For the first time in 15 years, Aaron Rodgers won’t be suiting up as the Packers’ QB1. The team handed the keys to Jordan Love, who has made only one start since being drafted in 2021.
The Bears also have some welcome new additions on their offense. D.J. Moore is Justin Fields’ new top wide receiver and rookie Darnell Wright is the new right tackle as the organization looks to improve on last season’s 3-14 record.
How will Fields and Co. perform against Love and the new-look Packers? Here is everything to know to tune into the Bears’ Week 1 matchup:
