Bears’ 2022 regular season schedule revealed

The Chicago Bears have officially released their 2022 schedule, which features some high-profile match-ups.

Aside from facing their NFC North rivals twice this season, the Bears will square off against 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.

For the first time in three years, the Bears will open the season at home when they host the San Francisco 49ers in a matchup that will feature Justin Fields and Trey Lance. For the seventh time in the last nine years, the Bears will close out the season against the Vikings — only this time in Chicago.

Despite a poor 6-11 record in 2021, the Bears have snagged three prime-time games — all scheduled within the first seven weeks of the season.

Here’s the complete Bears’ 2022 schedule:
