  • Date: September 12, 2021
  • Location: SoFi Stadium (Inglewood, CA)
  • Final Score: Rams 34, Bears 14
  • Weather at Kickoff: 71°F (Indoors/Climate Controlled)
  • The Fit: Navy Jersey / White Pants
  • Vegas Line: Bears +8
  • Key Notes: Opening the season on Sunday Night Football, head coaches Matt Nagy and Sean McVay squared off in a game that highlighted the transition of the Chicago offense. Andy Dalton was named the bears starting quarterback for the opener, though rookie Justin Fields—one of the most high-profile draft picks since year 2000—made his debut in specialized packages.
  • Historical Context: While Dalton moved the ball efficiently at times, the defense struggled to contain Matthew Stafford’s deep passing attack. This loss started the team on a path toward a difficult bears season all tiem record for the 2021 campaign.
