With many significant offseason additions with rookie quarterback and first overall pick Caleb Williams leading the way, the Bears have emerged as a popular choice to make the playoffs in 2024. Let’s dissect the schedule for 2024.
The Tennessee Titans, who were 6-11 in the previous year and have no viable quarterback option in 2024, will be the team the Bears take on in their home opener. Brian Callahan has taken over as head coach. The Bears will be the underdog in this game, and it’s a fantastic chance to start the Williams era off correctly.
The Bears will travel to Houston to play the Texans, who are expected to be the favorite in the AFC South and maybe a dark horse in the AFC, after their game against Tennessee at home. This game is scheduled for “Sunday Night Football,” and the quarterback competition between Williams and C.J. Stroud will be the center of attention. Bears will have a difficult test in Week 2
There will be a third straight game versus an AFC South opponent in Week 3. The Colts, who had a season when they just missed the playoffs, will have promising young quarterback Anthony Richardson back from injury. The defensive front in Chicago will face a tough task from his ability to make plays with his legs. Matchup: Week 4: Los Angeles Rams The Bears welcome the Rams, who finished 10-7 and qualified for the playoffs in 2023, to town for their first conference matchup. For the first time since being traded from Detroit in 2021, former rival quarterback Matthew Stafford will visit Chicago again. Here, a tight, competitive contest is anticipated. Game 5: Carolina Panthers vs.
For the second year in a row, Soldier Field will host the Bears and Panthers. Carolina didn’t make much improvements in the draft or free agency after finishing 2-15 in the previous campaign. With a trip over the pond coming up in Week 6, this is an excellent chance for the Bears to win at home. Week 6: London at. Jacksonville Jaguars The Bears’ last trip to London ended in a depressing defeat to an unimpressive Oakland Raiders team in 2019. With a significant time shift ahead of them, head coach Matt Eberflus and staff will need to prepare well. Week 7: Goodbye Week 8: at Commanders in Washington
