Bears end Sunday Night Football curse with win over Buccaneers

The Chicago Bears secured a 27-24 victory against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on November 8, 2026, breaking their long-standing Sunday Night Football curse. Prior to this win, the Bears had lost 11 consecutive Sunday night games dating back to December 2018, underscoring a history of struggles in primetime matchups. The team’s quarterback, Caleb Williams, threw four interceptions during the game, marking a concerning performance against a backdrop of their recent offensive issues. Although the curse is now lifted, the Bears will turn their attention to upcoming matchups, including a Thanksgiving game against the Detroit Lions and their season finale, which could also fall on Sunday night depending on playoff implications.
