The league has officially shifted kickoff to <strong>NOON CT<\/strong> \u2013 that\u2019s a full-blown early brunch battle!<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">Yes, you read that right: your usual 3:25 p.m. CT vibes? Gone. This one starts when you\u2019re still pouring your second cup of coffee.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\"><strong>Game-Day Weather Alert: It\u2019s Going to Be COLD<\/strong> Expect cloudy skies, temps hovering around <strong>54\u00b0F (12\u00b0C)<\/strong> at kickoff, dropping fast as the game goes on. Winds around 9 mph will make it feel even chillier on those Soldier Field bleachers. Jackets, hoodies, hand warmers \u2013 bring them ALL.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\"><strong>What Every Fan NEEDS to Know Before Sunday:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul dir=\"auto\">\n<li>Gates open earlier, tailgates start at dawn \u2013 get there BEFORE 10 a.m. or risk missing the party (and parking)!<\/li>\n<li>That fantasy lineup you set for the late games? Move it up \u2013 this one counts HOURS sooner.<\/li>\n<li>Watching from overseas? This noon CT start means kickoff as early as 6 p.m. London, 2 a.m. Sydney \u2013 set those alarms!<\/li>\n<li>Want the best atmosphere? Early arrivals = prime tailgate spots and first crack at the concourse.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"auto\">Bottom line: This isn\u2019t your typical Sunday slate. The Bears and Steelers are throwing down EARLY, and Chicago is about to be wide awake and roaring by lunchtime.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">Get your layers ready, adjust those schedules, and brace yourselves \u2013 November 23 is about to feel a whole lot colder\u2026 and a whole lot louder!<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">Who\u2019s ready for a noon knockout at Soldier Field?! \ud83d\udc3b\u2b07\ufe0f\ud83d\udfe1\u26ab<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>JUST IN: Chicago Bears vs Pittsburgh Steelers Game Time Updated The Chicago Bears will face off against the Pittsburgh Steelers at Soldier Field in Chicago on Sunday,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":123647,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-123646","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
