Bears News: Week 8 Start Time is Changed
According to Ian Rapoport, the kickoff time between the Bears vs. Commanders game will now be at 3:25 CT, switched from a Noon CT kickoff.
That is a great sign, as this puts a national eye on this game, which isn't shocking. Rookie quarterbacks Caleb Williams and Jayden Daniels have taken the league by storm and have showcased why they are guys of the future.
In 2024, Williams is tied for eighth in the NFL in passing touchdowns (9) with 1,317 passing yards and completing 65% of his passes. As for Daniels, he's ninth in the NFL in passing yards (1,404) and third in QBR (73.7) with six passing scores.
This is the first contest in the league between these studs. They went first and second, respectively in the 2024 NFL Draft so they will always be compared to each other. This gives the league their first glance into this heated rivalry for years to come and will be an exciting game for the Bears coming out of their bye week.
