The Chicago Bears and Denver Broncos meet up at Soldier Field tonight to kick off the 2017 preseason. The Bears are coming off a franchise-worst 3-13 season and are in full rebuild mode. Meanwhile, the Broncos are coming off a 9-7 season, but for a team with recent Super Bowls, that’s not good enough.
It’s been a busy offseason for the Bears. It’s the first season in nearly a decade where Jay Cutler isn’t under center. GM Ryan Pace bet his career on rookie signal caller Mitch Trubisky yet free agent veteran Mike Glennon will open the preseason as the starter.
