Bears Record in Primetime since 2010

The Bright Lights: Why the Bears Usually Forget How to Football After 7:00 PM

There is a specific type of anxiety known only to Bears fans on a Monday night. Since 2010, the Bears in primetime (MNF, SNF, TNF) have been... let's say "consistent." Consistently stressful.

While we’ve had some iconic Monday Night wins (shoutout to the 2023 Vikings win and the 2025 opener), the overall record since 2010 is roughly 22-34. We’ve struggled particularly on Sunday Night Football, where Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth have had to find creative ways to describe our three-and-outs for a decade.

Primetime Win % Since 2010 (Estimated)

• Monday Night (MNF): 42% (The "Chaos" Slot)
• Thursday Night (TNF): 48% (We actually do okay on short weeks!)
• Sunday Night (SNF): 31% (The "Don't Look" Slot)

The Takeaway: If you see the Bears on a Sunday night, maybe just check the score on your phone while watching a movie. It’s safer for your blood pressure.
