Ever since the two teams met in 1921, the rivalry between Green Bay and Chicago has been what I believe to be the best rivalry in the NFL. The history, the backstories, the hate towards one another, all of that encapsulated into a matchup between two of the earliest created teams in professional football makes…
Early Bird Breakdown Week 1 – Bears @ Packers Hello and welcome back to Early Bird Breakdown and the NFL season!
