The NFL has announced that the Bears will open the pre-season this year at home against the Denver Broncos. That game will pit Jay Cutler and Brandon Marshall against their former team, now led by future Hall-of-Famer Peyton Manning.
Their second game will be at home versus the Washington Redskins and will likely feature another highly anticipated QB debut. The Redskins are expected to select Baylor QB Robert Griffin III with the second overall pick in the upcoming NFL draft.
In their third game, the game in which the starters typically play the most, the Bears will have a good test when they travel to New York to take on the World Champion New York Giants in a nationally televised game.
Chicago will then finish up the preseason against the Browns, a tradition that has continued since Lovie Smith's arrival in 2004.
So, although many fans despise the preseason, it can't be denied that the preseason this year has many intriguing story lines and should provide great entertainment as we head into an exciting 2012 NFL season.
