Bears broke this one curse in Sunday night win vs. Bucs
Yahoo Sports
For how well the Chicago Bears have done in prime time, it is easy to forget their Sunday Night Football curse.
Prior to defeating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 27-24, the Bears had not won on Sunday Night Football since December of 2018, when they took down the Los Angeles Rams, 15-6, in what was another struggle on offense. Chicago lost 11 straight Sunday night games, including the playoffs, after that.
The Sunday Night Football curse is technically over because the Bears won, but they looked like they were still cursed watching the offense starting in the second quarter with quarterback Caleb Williams’ first interception of the game. He ended up throwing four interceptions in this game, the most he has thrown in a single game in his NFL career. Prior to this game, he only had one pick all year.
Luckily for the Bears, none of their remaining spotlight games are on Sunday Night Football, for now. Instead, they have a Thanksgiving game against the Detroit Lions, Saturday night game against the Buffalo Bills and Christmas Day game against the Green Bay Packers.
Their final game of the season is currently a flex game, so that has the possibility of being a Sunday night game if it is important for the playoffs. There is also a chance a playoff game could end up on Sunday night, so the Bears really need to fully conquer this curse so it does not hurt them in the postseason.
