The league released the Bears are playing a Black Friday game. At least they won't be playing on Thanksgiving. They are playing the world champion Eagles at 2 p.m. on Nov. 28 in Week 13 of the NFL season.

The last time the Bears played on a Saturday was on Dec. 24, 2022, in a 35-13 loss to the Buffalo Bills. This will also be the first Bears-Packers game in a primetime setting in two years. The last time was when the Bears and Packers' Week 18 game in 2023 was FOX's "America's Game of the Week" as both teams were eying playoff berths.

Philadelphia and Washington split their 2024 regular-season series. The second meeting saw the Commanders overcome a 13-point deficit in the fourth quarter, with quarterback Jayden Daniels hitting Jamison Crowder on a nine-yard touchdown pass with six seconds left.
