First-year Bears head coaches have had success playing in Green Bay

Since 1999, Bears head coaches are 4-1 when playing the Packers in Green Bay. Can Matt Eberflus keep up the trend?

Chicago Bears fans are usually confident in their teams chances, no matter who the opponent is that week. Except when it comes to facing the Green Bay Packers. It’s been a one-sided affair for the better part of a decade with the Bears winning just three games against their bitter rival since 2010.

The results have been ugly to say the least, but when the Bears do find a way to win against Green Bay once every few years or so, it has come when they have a new head coach.

Since 1999 and not including current head coach Matt Eberflus, the Bears have employed five head coaches. Those coaches collectively went 4-1 against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field during their first season with the Bears, with most getting surprising wins to start their tenure off on the right foot. Here is how each of them fared.
