After an emotional pregame remembrance of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the Bears opened the 2011 regular season in dominant fashion Sunday, rolling to a 30-12 victory over the Atlanta Falcons before a crowd of 59,808 at Soldier Field.
People throughout Chicago marked the 10th anniversary of the attacks in different ways. Some ceremonies were somber, while others marked the resilience that Americans have shown since that devastating day.
