The Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears will be the first teams on the national stage when they play Thursday night.
We already know what the Packers are going to do. No sitting for the National Anthem, but they will be locking arms. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers asked fans to join the team on Tuesday.
The players released a statement reiterating that request later in the day.

It will be interesting to see how this works out.
