Bears’ social media ranked top 10 in new Complex list

The Bears are ranked among the best social media teams in the NFL.

The Chicago Bears may not be considered one of the better teams in the NFL, but the team boasts a top 10 ranking in one crucial, under-appreciated category: social media.

In a recent article published by Complex, the Bears managed to prove they can remain on the cutting edge of social media fads and trends despite being one of the oldest teams in the league, ranking as the ninth-best NFL social media account.

It seems that Complex abstained from giving the Bears an additional superlative because, unless our math is wrong, Chicago also was the MISMT (Most Improved Social Media Team), leaping from an abysmal ranking of 31 in 2022’s list to the ninth spot.

The Bears’ top 10 ranking comes as no surprise to those who have enjoyed the team’s stellar content on social media accounts, such as Twitter or Instagram.

One recent standout production by the social team was a video unveiling the Bears’ upcoming 2023 schedule; a short film that pays loving homage to Hulu’s “The Bear.” The short features Bears legends of the past and present, celebrity cameos and, of course, light jabbing at those unenlightened tourists who actually WANT ketchup on their hotdogs.

The Bears are sandwiched between the two most recent Super Bowl participants on the list, with the champion Chiefs at No. 10 and the Eagles at No. 8. Chicago also scores a big victory over Green Bay, who acts as the bottom feeder of the list, falling flat at 32.

Vikings have two former Super Bowl matchups on 2023 schedule

When looking at the 2023 NFL schedule, the Minnesota Vikings have two rematches from past Super Bowls.

The Minnesota Vikings will welcome two familiar foes during the 2023 regular season.

During the 2023 season, the Vikings will match up against the Kansas City Chiefs and Las Vegas Raiders, marking two former Super Bowl rematches.

The Vikings’ matchup against the Chiefs and Raiders are just two of the 26 former Super Bowl matchups during the season.

In week five, the Vikings will welcome the defending Super Bowl Champion Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs and Vikings played each other in Super Bowl IV, which was the final Super Bowl before the NFL-AFL merger. The Chiefs defeated the Vikings 23-7 that season.

Then, in week 14, the Vikings will travel to Las Vegas to play the Raiders. The Raiders and Vikings met in Super Bowl XI, which the Raiders won for their first Super Bowl.

Super Bowl XI was also the Vikings’ last Super Bowl appearance to date.

The Vikings are 11-18 in games against the Chiefs or Raiders.

Bears cook up a masterpiece with their 2023 schedule reveal

The Bears created a dish that belongs in a Michelin Star restaurant with their 2023 schedule reveal.

The Chicago Bears 2023 schedule has finally been released and with it, a fun video to go along with the reveal. Over the last few years, NFL teams have embraced the schedule reveals with engaging videos on social media. The Bears have been no different, but their videos haven’t exactly been up to par with other NFL teams. That wasn’t the case this year, though.

The Bears parodied the hit FX television show “The Bear” which is based in Chicago to unveil their schedule. With the help of current and former players, as well as celebrities to star in the video, the Bears created a dish that belongs in a Michelin Star restaurant.

Airfares for Vikings’ away games are already skyrocketing after schedule announcement

Leading up to and following the 2023 NFL schedule release, flights to various cities wehre the Minnesota Vikings play are skyrocketing.

If you’re looking to travel to a Minnesota Vikings away game, you might want to start booking flights.

Following various leaks of the Vikings’ 2023 schedule, the fares for flights from Minnesota to various away game locations have increased.

According to Google’s flight tracker, tickets to Las Vegas for their Dec. 10 game are $265. Flights from Minneapolis to Las Vegas are often under $200, but supply and demand means higher ticket prices.

According to the Star Tribune’s Ben Goessling, tickets to Las Vegas are up $90 from just a few hours ago.

According to KSTP-TV’s Chris Long, the same can be said for the Vikings’ Week 11 matchup against the Denver Broncos. The cheapest flight to Denver for the Nov. 19 weekend is currently $192, but the second-cheapest one increases to north of $300.

These situations shouldn’t come as a surprise. Ultimately, airfares are dictated by supply and demand. When the dates of the Vikings’ away games were yet to be announced, people were not booking flights.

Outside of the Vikings’ normal NFC North opponents, the Vikings will also play the Philadelphia Eagles, Carolina Panthers, Denver Broncos, Las Vegas Raiders, Atlanta Falcons and Cincinnati Bengals on the road.
