3 Chicago Bears games that would be perfect for primetime

Green Bay Packers at Chicago Bears

The Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears should have one primetime game.

Obviously, a classic Bears vs Packers matchup had to be mentioned. This legendary rivalry started all the way back in 1921 when the Staleys (Bears) first beat the Packers by a score of 20-0. The Staleys have since changed their name to the Bears and the Packers have since taken control of the rivalry.

The two teams have now squared off a whopping 206 times with the Bears being 95-105-6 overall. The Bears have also lost 14 of the last 15 games in the series with their last win coming back in December of 2018.

Now that Aaron Rodgers has left for the New York Jets, it is time for Justin Fields and the Bears to get back on track. The Jordan Love saga has also regained traction since the Rodgers trade and a Fields vs Love matchup could be enough drama to get people tuned in from all over the country.

The “new look” Green Bay Packers are ready to show the world that they are ready for life post-Rodgers. The Bears, on the other hand, are ready to reclaim the title of NFC North bullies.

Since these two teams see each other twice a season, either of the matchups could be chosen for primetime. However, Soldier Field is long overdue for a primetime matchup in this series.

It’s likely that neither of these teams end up making big splashes in terms of playoff noise but the rivalry alone is too big to overlook.
