For athletes in the NFL, there is nothing worse than the feeling of losing a game. Despite putting in their blood, sweat, and tears into training camp and practices, to have a losing season comes as a huge blow. The Chicago Bears, a franchise with immense talent have found themselves in this situation year after year. The team ended the 2023-24 season with a record of 7-10, an improvement over its last season’s record of just 3 wins and 14 losses.

Despite this, the Chicago Bears came in at the bottom of their division, and to add insult to injury, they continued their long-running streak of losing to the Green Bay Packers, the team’s divisional rival. This year, the Bears were anticipating the matchup against the Packers because, for a long time, Aaron Rodgers had been tormenting and beating the team by outsmarting and outplaying them at every turn.

This year, it was Jordan Love at QB which meant the Bears felt they had a chance to break the team’s losing record to the Packers. However, this season, the only thing that changed in Green Bay was the quarterback and his jersey number. The outcome of the matchup against the Bears was the same with Love dismantling the Bears on opening night by throwing for 245 yards and three touchdowns.

I'm telling you right now, I'm not losing to Green Bay this year. I can't do it. I can't do it, man. I'm not losing to Green Bay this year.
Montez Sweat said

Well, it will not just be Sweat who has this sense of energy and motivation to perform at an elite level this season. The entire Bears franchise has a renewed sense of energy as the team will embark on a new chapter after drafting Caleb Williams as the next face of the franchise. If the team manages to beat Jordan Love and the Packers with Williams as the QB, that alone would be the equivalent of winning a Super Bowl for the fans in Chicago.

Will Montez Sweat and co be able to finally break the losing streak this season or will Jordan Love get the best of them yet again? It will be interesting to see.
