Bears vs. Packers: What to know

>> HOW THE TEAM IS GEARING UP AND HOW FANS CAN PREPARE FOR THE BIG GAME ON SUNDAY. SANDRA? >> HEY THERE, J.C. AND MICHELLE. THERE’S NO BETTER WAY TO GET THE BEARS MOTIVATED TO HAVE A FIRST GAME AGAINST THE GREEN BAY PACKERS. THAT RIVALRY IS VERY REAL. OUR SPORTS GUY, MIKE BERMAN, HE WAS TALKING TO ONE OF THE PLAYERS THIS WEEK AND HE SAYS YOU CAN SEE THE MOTIVATION IN THE FIELD. SOME PLAYERS ARE REALLY, REALLY EXCITED AND CONFIDENT ABOUT THE FIRST GAME AND THE SEASON IN GENERAL. OTHERS ARE RESERVED. THERE’S ONE THING THEY AGREE

ON. THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF A NEW ERA WITHOUT AARON RODGERS. >> OF COURSE THIS IS A BIG RIVALRY. THIS IS GAME ONE. IT’S THE MOST IMPORTANT GAME OF THE SEASON. NOT REALLY LOOKING BACK TOWARDS HISTORY, I’M LOOKING TOWARDS NOW. >> OBVIOUSLY GREEN BAY, YOU WANT TO BEAT THEM AS MANY TIMES AS YOU CAN JUST FOR THE SAKE OF THE CITY, YOU KNOW WHAT I’M SAYING. THE CITY OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS IN GENERAL, THIS RIVALRY HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A LONG TIME. WE’RE ABOUT TO BE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT NOW. WE’RE GOING TO

BE THE ONES THAT GIVE THE BEATDOWN. WE’RE NOT GETTING BEAT ANYMORE. THAT’S KIND OF HOW I SEE IT. IT STARTS SUNDAY. >> Reporter: HERE’S A LITTLE HISTORY FOR YOU. THE TWO TEAMS
