Bears vs. Packers: Trio of Key Highlights for Sunday's Kickoff Game.

The NFL season is upon us, and it's the Bears facing off against the Packers to set things in motion.

With Aaron Rodgers now with Gang Green, the big question is whether this shift will tilt the balance in favor of the Bears, or if a fresh challenge awaits them in the form of a potential Love spell.

Here's a trio of things to look out for when the Bears welcome the Packers:

First up, the battle in the trenches. The Bears boast a strong secondary when at full strength and have made impressive upgrades to their linebacker unit. However, the spotlight now turns to their defensive line, which struggled to make an impact last season. Can the acquisitions of defensive talents like DeMarcus Walker and Andrew Billings elevate their game? And what about the young rookies, Gervon Dexter Sr. and Zacch Pickens? Their debut performances are eagerly awaited.

Moving on to Justin Fields. Year three is here, and expectations are high. No quarterback for the Bears has ever reached the 4,000-yard mark in a single season. Fields believes he can, but after managing just 200 yards in a couple of games last season, even a 3,000-yard milestone would satisfy most fans. With D.J. Moore joining the roster, all eyes are on QB 1 to deliver.

Lastly, attention turns to Matt Eberflus. In his inaugural season as head coach, he didn't have a lot to work with, leading to a dismal record of 3 wins and 14 losses. But with the team strengthened in the offseason, the bar has been raised. His strategic game planning, intensity management, and endgame decisions will be closely observed, with the H.I.T.S. principle facing scrutiny.

So, set your alarms for 3:25 p.m. this Sunday as the Bears square off against the Packers at Soldier Field, with these three intriguing storylines in the mix.
