The NFL schedule is officially out.
While Twitter leaks began yesterday evening, it’s now been officially released by the Chicago Bears and the NFL, the embargo has lifted and here it is:

UPDATE: And the preseason schedule
#Bears preseason schedule:
— Adam Hoge (@AdamHoge) May 12, 2021
8/14 - Noon - vs Dolphins
8/21 - Noon - vs Bills (Trubisky returns)
8/28 - 6pm - at Titans
This is it. The first 17-game NFL schedule in history. The Bears will appear in primetime games at least five times, while having Y noon games for the traditionalists out there.
They will also face the Lions on Thanksgiving for the third time in four years.
Now the fun will be to speculate when things will get turned over to rookie quarterback Justin Fields, unless you think he’ll get the starting job from day one.
The schedule is daunting though, with six playoff teams from a season ago, including the defending Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 7.
They also get the Ravens, Steelers, Browns, Rams and Seahawks plus the division rival Packers.
The road trip to play the 17th opponent, the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 5 is going to be a popular road trip game.
So, looking it over, which games are you circling, what’s the all-too-early record you have them at?
