The Bears are 11-6 at home and 10-7 on the road the last two seasons under Nagy. Re-establishing that home-field advantage especially in the elements will be the key for the Bears in his third Tony Perez Jersey year.
Toughest tests:Green Bay and Minnesota were a combined 14-3 at home last season, but the Bears won at Minnesota21-19 and had a chance to tie the Packers at Lambeau Field in a 21-13 lo s.Those divisional games still carry the most weight.
Outside of the division, the road games at Tenne see and the cro s-country trip to Los Angeles to face the Rams Cliff Pennington Jersey wont be easy.
