The contest is scheduled to be played at 7 p.m. (CT) Sunday, Aug. 7, one day after former Bears defensive end Richard Dent and six others are enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The Bears are slated to play a second nationally-televised preseason game at 7 p.m. (CT) Aug. 22 when they visit the New York Giants in a Monday Night Football contest. The Bears are also scheduled to host the Buffalo Bills Aug. 11-14, visit the Tennessee Titans Aug. 25-28 and host the Cleveland Browns Sept. 1-4. Dates and times of those games will be released at a later date. per chicagobears.com. Why the f*** do they play Cleveland every preseason? I'm sick of staring at those ugly brown and orange uniforms with those plain, orange helmets for a pointless preseason game every year. Report

I'm sick of staring at those ugly brown and orange uniforms with those plain, orange helmets for a pointless preseason game every year. Teams like Cleveland & Tennessee make sense since they are AFC teams who are fairly close to Chicago. Why travel far for pre-season? Nobody really gives a damn. Last year the Bears didn't win a single pre-season game, and the most compelling position battle was Asiata vs Lance Louis. We wound up winning our first 3 games and benching both those guys. Report

In 2008, IIRC, the Bears played in Seattle and the 49ers played in Chicago. Report
