About
The Bears host the Jets at Soldier Field in a Sunday NFL matchup.
This is the Bears’ chance to reach 3–1 at home after a 27–7 win over Philadelphia, but the intrigue is at quarterback because Caleb Williams is out. The matchup pits the NFL’s leading rushing attack through Week 3 against a Jets defense that had allowed the league’s second-fewest total yards. Arrive early for the Crucial Catch and Real Bears Fans Wear Pink presentation, with crew-length socks for attendees while supplies last.
What to expect
Treat the noon kickoff as a hard stop and aim to reach Soldier Field when gates open at 10am; the Bears recommend being seated at least 20 minutes before kickoff. If this is your first game or you have children, begin in the South Courtyard, where a DJ, Staley’s Corner, kids’ activities, giveaways, and photo opportunities run from gate opening through halftime. Then settle in for a matchup shaped by Chicago’s league-leading rushing attack and uncertainty at quarterback. Take the Red, Orange, or Green Line to Roosevelt and walk through Museum Campus, or use the No. 146 bus. If you drive, nearby stadium lots require prepaid passes, while the Millennium Garages offer a free game-day shuttle.
