The 2022 NFL schedule was released on Thursday and fans are already making their plans to see their favorite NFL team in action this fall. Dates are circled, matchups are being dissected, and win/loss predictions are coming out in full force.
For the Chicago Bears, their schedule has a number of quirks that could be seen as advantages or disadvantages. For example, the team doesn’t play a game in the pacific or mountain time zone, but they also face two 2021 playoff teams to start the season.
While there’s seemingly an unlimited amount of takeaways from this year’s schedule, I narrowed mine down to five and how they might impact the Bears’ season.
