We’re officially in Week 1 in the National Football League after what’s seemed like ages!
The Detroit Lions will be taking on their divisional opponents the Chicago Bears this Sunday at Ford Field, though everyone will have to watch on television due to no fans being allowed (yet) in attendance.
How about a look behind enemy lines?
Bears QB Mitchell Trubisky will be getting the start the Bears against the Lions, and he’s feeling more confident as the first game approaches.
“I just found my confidence again,” Trubisky told the team’s website. “You have to believe in yourself for your teammates and other people to believe in you. So I just came in here with a different attitude and mindset and how I’m going to approach this season.”

“There’s going to be no regrets. I’m not even worried about outcomes. I’m just worried about putting my best foot forward and staying in that mindset to allow you to play really good football.”
Of course, Trubisky will be starting opposite Lions veteran Matthew Stafford, now in his 12 season. According to Bears head coach Matt Nagy, Stafford’s best weapon is simple: he’s “deadly accurate”.
Meanwhile, second year RB David Montgomery is expected to be a game-time decision for the Bears on Sunday.
“With me, it’s being sure I take care of myself. I’d be hurting the team more if I was to come back earlier than I was supposed to and continue to be hurt and hurt myself again,” he said. “The biggest thing is being smart with myself, being smart with my body and being sure I communicate with the training staff and the coaches to let them know how I feel.”
The Lions and Bears will get underway at 1:00 PM EST Sunday.
