Bears 2023 season preview: What’s new, what’s the same and outlook

The Bears will kick off the 2023 NFL season against the Packers at Soldier Field. Here’s our 2023 season primer:

The Chicago Bears will host the rival Green Bay Packers Sunday to open the 2023 NFL season.

The Bears have been on the wrong side of the rivalry for the last decade-plus, where they’ve gone 3-23 dating back to 2011. That includes an eight-game losing streak, which Chicago last defeated Green Bay in Dec. 2018.

But Sunday’s opener presents an opportunity for the Bears to get on the right side of the rivalry as a new chapter begins. Aaron Rodgers is now with the New York Jets, and it’s Jordan Love time in Green Bay.

Before Sunday’s season opener, we’re sharing our season preview (as previously shared with Packers Wire and their “Reintroduce a Rival” feature). We’ll look at what’s new, what’s the same, newcomers to know and share an outlook for the 2023 season.
