The Chicago Bears have unveiled their 2022 schedule, which features some intriguing matchups and plenty of storylines.
In addition to facing their NFC North rivals twice this season, the Bears will play the AFC East and NFC East, which includes home games against the Buffalo Bills, Philadelphia Eagles and Miami Dolphins, as well as away games against the Dallas Cowboys, New England Patriots and New York Jets.
They’ll also face the same-place finisher from the NFC South (Atlanta Falcons) and NFC West (San Francisco 49ers). With the additional 17th regular-season game, the Bears will host the Houston Texans.
Chicago will open the season at home against the 49ers followed by a prime-time meeting against the Packers at Lambeau Field. While Chicago will face some tough teams this season, they actually have a favorable schedule with one of the easiest slates.
