Home Sweet Home? The Bears Look to
get back their “Mojo” at home
Chicago will be
wearing their orange third jersey for the fifth consecutive year this Sunday versus Cleveland. Chicago is 3-1 in
the previous four contests when they have donned the orange third jersey:
defeating San Francisco in 2005 (17-9)
and 2006 (41-10) and Minnesota
in 2008 (48-41); falling to Detroit in 2007 (16-7).
The Chicago Bears
(3-3) return to Soldier Field for the first time in four weeks when they battle the Cleveland Browns (1-6) on
Sunday, November 1, at noon CT.
The Bears, who are
2-0 at Soldier Field this season, will host back-to-back home contests as they battle the Browns in Week
8 and the Arizona Cardinals in Week 9.
Cleveland
owns a 9-4 advantage in the regular season series with the Bears, while
the Monsters
of the Midway hold a 3-2 edge in games played in Chicago including winning both contests played at Soldier
Field (1986 and 2001). Cleveland won the last regular season meeting between the teams in
2005, 20-10.
The Monsters of the
Midway are 1-1 this season against teams from the AFC North after defeating the Pittsburgh Steelers
17-14 in Week 2 and falling to the Bengals in Cincinnati 45-10 last weekend. The Bears
will also travel to Baltimore to take on the Ravens in Week 15 (December 20).
