“That’s right,’’ Kyle, 24, said from Chicago on Wednesday. “I have gone to his practices and watched his games for years, but we have never been on the same team or played each other on different teams—in anything. That’s going to be the weirdest part of this … just seeing my brother on the same field.”

“I’m excited to see him, and I’m excited to be on the same field with him, finally,’’ Chris, 28, said from St. Louis on Thursday. “But when he got drafted by Chicago and I saw they were on our schedule, I dreaded it. I dreaded it in a big way. I was worried he’d play tackle, and if it was right tackle, we’d be opposite each other for the game. But he’s a guard, so that’s a relief. What’s great is that our entire family will be there—the first time all five us [dad, mom, Kyle, Chris and younger brother Howie Jr.] have been together at an NFL game.”
