Bears hit with weird NFL scheduling quirk that hasn't happened in 58 years
Every year, there are always some weird situations happening with the NFL schedule. Some are beneficial for teams, others are detrimental for someone else.
However, this year's craziest quirks are most likely inside the Chicago Bears schedule. Here it is:
Bears will be spending December at home.
"The Bears got an especially unique scheduling quirk: They don't play a SINGLE road game during the month of December, marking the first time that's happened to the Bears since 1964. The Bears will play a home game against the Packers in Week 13 (Dec. 4). They have a bye in Week 14 (Dec. 11) and then they follow that up with a home game in Weeks 15 (Dec. 18) and 16 (Dec. 24). Although they do play a road game in Week 17, that game falls on Jan. 1, which means they have ZERO road games in December." -John Breech
This is actually very bizarre. While it won't change much for the players and coaches, it's still a pretty big deal. The schedule-makers always try to mix up road games and home games inside of a schedule. However, for the first time in 58 years, they failed to do it for the Bears in December! I'm pretty sure this won't be a deal-breaker for Chicago but it's still very special!
