Chicago Bears' 2015 schedule refresher

With the NFL officially set to release the 2015 regular-season schedule sometime next week, here is a quick refresher on the Chicago Bears' predetermined opponents.

In the current scheduling format where teams rotate facing entire NFC and AFC divisions each year, the Bears' 2015 slate calls for them to take on teams from the NFC and AFC West.

Just two intraconference games on every club's schedule are based on the previous season's final standings. Because the Bears (5-11) finished last in the NFC North, Chicago is required to face fellow 2014 cellar dwellers in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (NFC South) and Washington Redskins (NFC East).

Here is the list of the Bears' 2015 opponents with last season's record in parenthesis:

Home

Arizona Cardinals (11-5)

Denver Broncos (12-4)

Oakland Raiders (3-13)

San Francisco 49ers (8-8)

Washington Redskins (4-12)

Green Bay Packers (12-4)

Detroit Lions (11-5)

Minnesota Vikings (7-9)

Away

Kansas City Chiefs (9-7)

San Diego Chargers (9-7)

Seattle Seahawks (12-4)

St. Louis Rams (6-10)

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-14)

Green Bay Packers (12-4)

Detroit Lions (11-5)

Minnesota Vikings (7-9)
