Matt Forte, the second-most productive running back in franchise history, took to social media Friday to confirm that he'll no longer be a member of the Chicago Bears.
Only happened once, when the Colts beat the saints.If they don't want to put the Pats in back to back opening nights then it should be a SB rematch IMO.
How often do we get an AFC vs NFC opening night though? Feels like it doesn't happen often, could just be me being wrong though.

They won't do a SB rematch to open the season, it's just not going to happen.
Given the league's joyous rapture over LA, I wouldn't be surprised if it was Rams/Broncos. Hopefully they wouldn't subjugate the Broncos Super Bowl banner unveiling etc. by making it an LA home game, but I wouldn't put it past them after reading that Wickersham piece from yesterday.

(Regarding the “Gale Sayers-had-a-short-career-too” argument: Sayers’ career began 51 years ago, and lots of players between 1940 and 1970 had short careers, because of things like military service, low pay for football players and medical science not being able to fix knees. So it’s not an apples-to-apples comparison.)
If Bears throw some $$$ into D and another receiving threat they could potentially be a playoff team IMO next year if Cutler stays healthy
The Washington Redskins and Dallas Cowboys have matched up seven times on Thanksgiving Day in their historic rivalry dating back to the 1960s.
Could the 2016 season bring an eighth Thanksgiving Day matchup?
Sports Business Journal’s John Ourand is reporting that the league is “likely†to schedule Redskins-Cowboys as one of its two Thanksgiving Day games in 2016. Though the NFL is yet to confirm the report – regular-season schedules aren’t usually finalized and released until mid-April – Ourand is told it would be telecast on FOX
The location of the game is not included in Ourand’s report, but the Cowboys have traditionally been the home team on Thanksgiving in years past. The other Thanksgiving Day game this season will likely feature the Detroit Lions taking on the Minnesota Vikings, Ourand reports
