The Bears are back... on national television.

The 2023 schedule release included four prime-time games and three late-afternoon kickoffs for the Bears, reflecting a feeling that the networks want not just the Chicago market, but quarterback Justin as well. Fields.

This is the first year that teams can play twice on Thursday nights, and the Bears are one of those teams, with games at the Commanders (week 5) and at home against the Panthers (week 10). They also play the Chargers on Sunday night in Week 8 and the Vikings on Monday night in Week 13, concluding Thanksgiving weekend.

With the NFL releasing the full 2023 schedule tonight, it's time to see how the season currently projects based on my NFL blueprint. The model currently does a projection for each team and then simulates each regular season and playoff game. It is important to note that we are still months away from the start of the regular season and projections are subject to change.

Let's start with a cliché: you never get a second chance to make a first impression.

NFL broadcast executives (and the franchise partners who pay them billions) are well aware of the importance of audience drive. That's why the NFL has brought its schedule forward in recent years with games, at least on paper, providing great viewing opportunities. Optics and narratives are important at Goodell Land, so the first few weeks of the NFL season are something I always focus on when the schedule is announced. The boost is especially important for those media partners that broadcast one game a week, such as Amazon, ESPN and NBC. Fox and CBS can often view their schedules more comprehensively.

Entering his third season in charge, Falcons coach Arthur Smith and general manager Terry Fontenot need to start winning more games than they lose. The NFL has helped in 2023 by giving them the easiest schedule in the league based on opponents' winning percentage in 2022. The teams the Falcons play this season had a combined record of 119-167-3 last season.

On Thursday, the league announced the order of all those games and the rest of the schedule for next year.

The Baltimore Ravens' first three road games are against AFC North rivals. Their last three are in prime time versus the 2022 playoff teams.

His bye comes in week 13, seven weeks after facing the Tennessee Titans in London. They have three straight road games in October and three straight at home in November. They're playing Christmas Eve... in Santa Clara, California.

Instead of a delayed divisional slate like the previous two years, the Ravens have just one AFC North game left after their Thursday, Nov. 16, night game against the Cincinnati Bengals in the only primetime game in Baltimore. .

With four games in prime time, along with their second overseas contest, there are quite a few highlights of the Ravens' 2023 regular season schedule. There are also a number of challenges. Let's check.

The NFL released its schedule, and for the Bills, the schedulers honored them with six prime-time games in total. But 2023 has a different feel to it than last year.

While 2022 featured a Bills team as the betting favorite to win the Super Bowl, some believe they have been overlooked in the AFC. Already trying to catch the defending champion Chiefs, some are now putting the Bengals ahead after lopsided play in the divisional round to end the Bills' 2022 campaign.

The motivating factor could be a fixture of the Bills' 2023 season, and with the way their early-season schedule looks, they'll have a chance to prove they're real again.

Attention Carolina Panthers players, staff and fans: welcome back to prime time.

After the networks mostly ignored the Panthers during the Matt Rhule era featuring a revolving door at quarterback, they're paying attention again following the arrival of former Alabama quarterback Bryce Young with the No. 1 pick. general.

Call it the Bryce Era or the Bryce Effect. Either way, the Panthers appear to be relevant again.

The Panthers will have two prime time games in 2023, including their first appearance on Monday Night Football in five years. Young's first home game will be in MNF against the Saints in Week 2. These same teams met the last time the Panthers were in MNF: a 12-9 loss in which Christian McCaffrey accounted for Carolina's only touchdown. on a 50-yard pass to Chris. Martinez - no, Manhertz.

The Panthers will also play under the lights in Chicago in Week 10 on Thursday Night Football in what could be called the DJ Moore Revenge Game. The Panthers included Moore in the mega trade with the Bears to move up eight spots for Young, the Panthers' first No. 1 overall pick since Cam Newton in 2011.

If Young, the 2021 Heisman Trophy winner, produces in the NFL like he did in the SEC, expect the Panthers to get even more prime-time opportunities in years to come.

Taking things one week at a time, or at least Week 1 at a time, here are the opening week matchups for the new head coaches and new starting quarterbacks.

Week 1 games for new head coaches:

• Frank Reich (CAR) at Falcons: Two teams with new starting quarterbacks, but Atlanta is way ahead in its offensive development.
• DeMeco Ryans (HOU) at Ravens: Ryans meet Lamar Jackson in a new offensive scheme in Baltimore early on.
• Sean Payton (DEN) vs. Raiders: Denver opens and closes its regular season against the Raiders for the second time in franchise history (also happened in 2019).
• Jonathan Gannon (AZ) at Commanders: With Kyler Murray rehabbing from ACL surgery, Colt McCoy could start for Arizona against Washington, where he played from 2014-19.

Week 1 pairings for new starting QBs:

• Desmond Ridder (ATL) vs. Panthers: Ridder started the final four games last season but did not face Carolina.
• Jordan Love (GB) on Bears: Love could win a lot of hearts in Green Bay if he can help the Packers beat their biggest rival.
• Gardner Minshew or Anthony Richardson (IND) vs. Jaguars: It's too early to tell when Richardson will be ready.
• Jimmy Garoppolo (LV) at Broncos: Derek Carr went 2-0 as a starter against Denver last season, including a game with 307 yards and two touchdowns.
• Derek Carr (NO) vs. Titans: Carr makes his debut for a Saints team that beat the Raiders 24-0 last season.
• Aaron Rodgers (NYJ) vs. Bills: Big matchup of the opening week of Monday Night Football.
• Baker Mayfield (TB) at Vikings: Mayfield is 0-4 in season opens with three touchdowns and six interceptions in those games.
• Sam Howell (W.A.S.) vs. Cardinals: Howell couldn't get a more favorable matchup for his second career start.
• Bryce Young (CAR) at Falcons: The Falcons added Calais Campbell, David Onyemata and Bud DuPree to a front that already features Grady Jarrett as part of an effort to get more physical.
• CJ Stroud (HOU) at Ravens: Baltimore hasn't been as good on defense of late, but still, this is a potentially tough debut.

One out of two isn't bad, and after nearly a decade, the Steelers will surely take it.

Now, their final stretch, they will surely pass it.

The Steelers will open the 2023 season at home, finally, but they'll have to take their New Year's Eve party to the Pacific Northwest. Throw in a regular prime-time schedule (two of the four games are on Thursday Night Football) and arguably the toughest three-game finish in the league and the Steelers' roster, like offense and front office, has something of a new look this year.

The Steelers open the season at Acrisure Stadium against the NFC runner-up San Francisco 49ers on September 10. It will be Pittsburgh's first home season opener since the 2014 season when they hosted the Browns. The eight-year gap between home starts was the fifth-longest since the 1970 merger.

The start of the Patriots' 2023 schedule got a lot more interesting Thursday morning when owner Robert Kraft announced the team would welcome Tom Brady in a ceremony ahead of their season opener against the Eagles.

"It will be the start of many celebrations to honor Tom Brady and thank him for what he did for us in the 20 years he played for the New England Patriots," Kraft said.

But of course, it's just a game.

The Patriots unveiled their full schedule Thursday night, and it's already slated to be the toughest in the NFL based on Las Vegas' projected win totals for their opponents.

They play the defending NFC champion Philadelphia Eagles in the season opener and the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs in week 15. The games will be in Germany.

The Philadelphia Eagles will begin their attempt to return to the Super Bowl with a chance to crash an old foe's party in Week 1, closing out the regular season with two games against the same division rival in the final three weeks. In between is a brutal stretch against seven consecutive 2022 playoff teams. Fasten your seatbelts!

We knew the Browns' 2023 schedule wouldn't include games against Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen or Justin Herbert.

We now know that the schedule begins and ends with games against Joe Burrow. You can't outrun the best quarterbacks in the AFC, but the Browns and Myles Garrett can try to pick their noses off, and it starts at home in the season opener.

Personal Writing, Browns

It's been about four months since each NFL team realized its 17 opponents for the 2023 season, but the purpose of each order was announced Thursday.

As is the case with unbalanced schedules, not everyone is created equal. Therefore, there are winners and losers in every plan disclosure.

That doesn't necessarily mean "winners" are destined for the playoffs, and "losers" should step up their search efforts for USC quarterback Caleb Williams. But there are definitely some ideal and inauspicious quirks that happened to each team's slate.

Let's review some of the more obvious situations.

Fans of both sides of the NFL's oldest rivalry will have plenty to talk about after Week 1.

The Bears open the 2023 season at home against the Packers at 15.25. start at Soldier Field. This marks the fifth time the two have started the season against each other in Chicago.

The Packers will debut their new starting quarterback when Aaron Rodgers' reign over the Bears comes to an end. The Bears will unveil what they hope will be a dramatically improved team, led by quarterback Justin Fields.

In Week 18, the season finale, will the Bears-Packers at Lambeau Field be important to both teams? It would be a dream come true for NBC if a playoff spot is on the line.
