Week 1: vs. Los Angeles Rams

Week 2: vs. Cincinnati Bengals
In Week 2, the Bears face off against the Cincinnati Bengals. Joe Burrow and company will be looking to make a statement in their second year in the league, but our boys in blue and orange won’t let them have an easy win. Plus, who doesn’t love a good trip to the Queen City?
Week 3: at Cleveland Browns
The Bears hit the road in Week 3 to take on the Cleveland Browns. Baker Mayfield and the Browns are expected to be serious contenders this year, but don’t count out our beloved Bears just yet. With a strong running game and a defense that can make big plays when it matters most, anything can happen in this matchup.
Week 4: vs. Detroit Lions
The Bears welcome their division rival Detroit Lions to Soldier Field in Week 4. With Matt Stafford now calling Los Angeles home, it’ll be interesting to see how Jared Goff fares in his new stomping grounds. One thing’s for sure - the Bears will be looking to make a statement against their Motor City counterparts.
Week 5: at Las Vegas Raiders
Week 5 sees the Bears heading out west to take on the Las Vegas Raiders. This will be the first time the Bears play in the shiny new Allegiant Stadium, so you know they’ll be looking to make a statement. Plus, who doesn’t love a good trip to Sin City?
Week 6: vs. Green Bay Packers
It’s the oldest rivalry in football, and Week 6 delivers a doozy - Bears versus Packers. Aaron Rodgers and company will make the trip to Soldier Field, but they’ll be greeted by a hostile crowd and a hungry Bears team that’s ready to take them down. Don’t miss this one, folks.
Week 7: at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Super Bowl champions await the Bears in Week 7 as they travel to Tampa Bay to take on Tom Brady and the Buccaneers. It’s a tough matchup on paper, but as we’ve seen time and time again, anything can happen on any given Sunday. Plus, who wouldn’t want to spend the weekend in sunny Florida?
Week 8: vs. San Francisco 49ers
Week 8 brings the San Francisco 49ers to town. This could be a defining moment for the Bears, as they look to establish themselves as serious contenders in the NFC. Will Justin Fields be hitting his stride by this point in the season? We can only hope and pray.
Week 9: at Pittsburgh Steelers
The Bears hit the road again in Week 9, this time traveling to Pittsburgh to take on the Steelers. This will be a tough matchup for the Bears, as the Steelers are always a tough out at home. But with the right game plan and a little bit of luck, the Bears could pull off the upset.
Week 10: bye week
It’s time for the Bears to rest up and get ready for the final stretch of the season. Take a break from the stresses of football and spend some time with your loved ones. Just make sure to keep an eye on the rest of the NFC North standings while you’re at it.
Week 11: vs. Baltimore Ravens
The Bears return to Soldier Field in Week 11 to take on the Baltimore Ravens. Lamar Jackson and company will be looking to make a statement against a Bears defense that’s notoriously stingy. Will the Bears be up to the task? Only time will tell.
Week 12: at Detroit Lions
The Bears head back to Detroit in Week 12 to take on the Lions on their home turf. Will Jared Goff and the Lions put up a better fight this time around, or will the Bears dominate once again? We’ll find out soon enough.
Week 13: vs. Arizona Cardinals
The Arizona Cardinals come to town in Week 13, and they’ll be looking to get back on track after a disappointing 2020 season. Kyler Murray is a dynamic quarterback who can make plays with his arm and his legs, so the Bears defense will have their work cut out for them in this one.
Week 14: at Green Bay Packers
The Bears travel to Lambeau Field in Week 14 for their second matchup against the Packers. This time around, the weather will likely be much colder and the intensity will be ramped up even higher. Can the Bears make a statement on the road against their bitter rivals? We’ll see.
Week 15: vs. Minnesota Vikings
The Vikings come to town in Week 15, and you know they’ll be looking to spoil the Bears’ playoff hopes. Kirk Cousins and Dalvin Cook are both dangerous players who can take over a game if they get going early. The Bears defense will have to be on their A-game to come out on top.
Week 16: at Seattle Seahawks
The Bears head out west once again in Week 16, this time taking on the always-tough Seattle Seahawks. Russell Wilson is one of the best quarterbacks in the game today, but the Bears defense is more than capable of shutting him down if they play their cards right.
Week 17: vs. New York Giants
The penultimate week of the season sees the New York Giants coming to town. Daniel Jones and Saquon Barkley are a dangerous duo who can make big plays at any time, so the Bears defense will have to be on their toes in this one. Plus, who doesn’t love a good pizza party?
Week 18: at Minnesota Vikings
The Bears close out the regular season with a trip to Minneapolis to take on the Minnesota Vikings. This could be a must-win game for both teams, depending on how the rest of the season goes. Will the Bears be able to come out on top and secure a playoff spot? Only time will tell.
