The Chicago Bears haven’t made the playoffs since 2020, but they’re hoping to change that as they enter the stretch run with the top record in the NFC North.
The Bears started the season 0-2, but they’ve won seven of their last eight games, and they find themselves with the third seed in the NFC entering Week 12.
With that record in place, things are about to get a heck of a lot harder for the Bears, as their schedule features numerous playoff-bound teams, the reigning Super Bowl champs, and two games against their biggest rival.
In all, the Bears play teams currently in playoff position in five of their final seven games, with the Detroit Lions just outside of the playoff picture as they enter Week 12 with a 6-4 record.
The slate gets started on Sunday when they take on the AFC North-leading Pittsburgh Steelers at Soldier Field. They then follow that up with the NFC-leading and reigning Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles on the road on Black Friday, with a showdown with their archrival Green Bay Packers opening the month of December.
Here is the team’s full schedule for the rest of the season:
Sunday, Nov. 23: vs. Pittsburgh 12 p.m. (CBS)
Friday, Nov. 28: at Philadelphia 2 p.m. (Amazon Prime Video)
Sunday, Dec. 7: at Green Bay 3:25 p.m. (Fox)
