News In Brief
Bears Open Season With Super Bowl Flashback




 
 
 
 
 
The Chicago Bears kick-off the season on Sunday. They take on the Indianapolis Colts in a rematch of the 2007 Super Bowl.

This is the first time the Bears have played Indianapolis since that disappointing Super Bowl less than two years ago. Since then, the Bears have struggled, finishing 7-9 last year. Results over the summer weren't too encouraging either; they won just one preseason game.

This Sunday, Bears starting QB Kyle Orton takes on the Colts' Peyton Manning. Knee surgery forced Manning to miss all of training camp. But he's reportedly healthy, and ready to start what'll be the first regular season game at the Colts' brand-new stadium.
