Bears 2022 Schedule review

• Week 1: Sunday, September 11 vs. 49ers
  There are so many questions for both teams in this first matchup. What will the Bear's offense look like? who will be starting at quarterback for the 49ers will they still have all pro-WR Deebo Samuel? 49ers is a perfect week to see how good or bad the bears will be.

• Week 2: Sunday Night, September 18 at Packers
  Fields will have an early shot to knock off the Packers for the first time. new coach Matt Eberflus gets his first taste of what the oldest rivalry in the NFL looks like.

• Week 3: Sunday, September 25 vs. Texans
  Former head coach Lovie Smith comes back to Soldier Field. This is arguably the easiest game for the bears this year.

• Week 4: Sunday, October 2 at Giants
  The bears have had success vs the giants the last few seasons. Another game the bears should win and a 2-2 record is a good record for the first month of the season.

• Week 5: Sunday, October 9 at Vikings
  Both the Bears and Vikings hired a new head coach and a new GM over the offseason. Can the bears take advantage and come out 3-2

• Week 6: Thursday Night, October 13 vs. Commanders
  This game will be the most boring prime-time game all season. Commanders made a trade for Carson Wentz. another favorable matchup for the bears.

• Week 7: Monday Night, October 24 at Patriots
  What would be the bear's third matchup this season between second-year QBs? this time it's Mac Jones VS Justin Fields. Will Justin show enough through 7 games to prove himself as the best in his sophomore class?

• Week 8: Sunday, October 30 at Cowboys
  The Cowboys have been one of the most disappointing teams in the league. this will be a big game for both teams 8 weeks in.

• Week 9: Sunday, November 6 vs. Dolphins
  Bears fans get the new and improved Dolphins offense at home this year. The Fins made huge splashes by trading for Tyreek Hill, signing left tackle Terron Armstead, and adding three big-time backs in Chase Edmonds, Raheem Mostert, and Sony Michel

• Week 10: Sunday, November 13 vs. Lions
  first matchup VS second pick Aidan Hutchinson. this will be a very close game. but bears should pull through.

• Week 11: Sunday, November 20 at Falcons
  if the Bears have a rough stretch leading up to Week 11, these next few games could be an excellent opportunity to bounce back.

• Week 12: Sunday, November 27 at Jets
  Fields vs. Zach Wilson. the 4th second-year QB matchup of the season. Many people believe the Jets “won” the 2022 draft. they added a ton of talent with their three first-round draft picks, but will “winning the draft” leads to more wins.

• Week 13: Sunday, December 4 vs. Packers
  Bears will get a chance to see how much they’ve improved against the packers since week 2 over the rest of the season

• Week 14: BYE

• Week 15: Sunday, December 18 vs. Eagles
  this is another team-defing game. How much will the Bears have improved after the bye? Will there be big changes that help the team move forward?

• Week 16: Saturday, December 24 vs. Bills
  this will be the toughest game on the schedule a Christmas Eve game vs the Bills. Will Feilds show the same improvements as Allen in year 2?

• Week 17: Sunday, January 1 at Lions
  this game might have some meaning towards the end of the year with the loser getting a lower draft pick

• Week 18: TBD vs. Vikings
  This will be the 6th time in the last 7 seasons that the Bears play the Vikings in the final regular season game.
