Preseason Week 2 Pre-Gamin’: Bears at Seahawks (7 PM CT) – Lineups, Broadcast Info, Game Thread

Aug 18, 2022

The Chicago Bears won back-to-back games just twice last year.

Aside: Sheesh. No wonder the organization cleaned house early on the Monday morning after the regular season finale.

One set of consecutive wins game in Weeks 16 and 17, and it began with a win against the Seahawks on Dec. 26. A true post-Christmas miracle by Bears standards. The Bears, who were facing a 10-point deficit after three quarters, came back with a vengeance by scoring 11 points in the fourth quarter.

Nick Foles, Jimmy Graham, and Damiere Byrd to the rescue:
