The Bears will bookend their season against their most-hated rival Green Bay Packers. Only this time, Chicago will face a cheese team led by Jordan Love. 

Chicago has a total of four primetime games, which is exciting considering the disappointing results of last season. However, two of those come in the form of Thursday night contests. It's clear that the NFL believes Justin Fields and this new-look Bears team could be a fun product to watch in 2023.

The Bears' preseason slate features matchups with the Tennessee Titans, Indianapolis Colts and Buffalo Bills.
