Chicago Bears Schedule 2022: Opponents, Dates, Times, TV Streams, and Final Record Predictions
In 2021, Chicago Bears finished 6-11 and missed the playoffs for the second time in Matt Nagy’s four years as head coach of the group. After the season, he was dismissed, making former Colts defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus the new leader of the team as Justin Fields enters his second season as the starting quarterback.
In preparation for the next season, the Bears haven’t exactly done themselves any favors. The Bears appear to be in better form defensively. Star linebacker Roquan Smith led Chicago’s total defense, which finished sixth in the league the previous season. The rebuilt Bears will not have an easy time of it.
The team will host the Eagles, Bills, and 49ers throughout the season, as well as travel, to play the Cowboys and Patriots. This is in addition to its yearly home-and-home matchup with its archrival and the enduring NFC North juggernaut Packers. Here is a detailed schedule for the Bears’ 17 games in 2022, complete with dates and kickoff times.

Chicago Bears final record prediction
The Packers, Eagles, Bills, 49ers, Cowboys, and Patriots were among the six teams who played in the postseason in 2021 that Chicago will see in 2022. The 49ers, who finished third in the NFC West last season, will be a tough opponent, but the Packers continue to be the biggest headache on the Chicago schedule.
The Bears aren’t where they want to be, and this offseason, they didn’t do anything to support Justin Fields. This means that he needs some help because this crew can’t just follow him around. We predict the Bears to finish the season 9-8.
