Smith: My Bears will beat Packers
LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) -- Lovie Smith knows how to win over the Chicago Bears' fans. His No. 1 goal as the team's new coach is to beat its biggest rival, the Green Bay Packers.
``I've been on the winning side the last five times I've played them, so I think we know how to beat them,'' Smith said Thursday, a day after he was hired by Chicago.
Smith was the St. Louis Rams' defensive coordinator the past three seasons.
``As the leader of our team, I will do everything possible to bring back the pride, tradition and excellence of the glory years of past Bears teams,'' Smith said.
Applause greeted his talk about beating the Packers. The Bears have lost 18 of their last 20 games against Green Bay.
