It is also clear that our division is well respected as we face each of our rivals in primetime this season. The NFC North deserves the showcase games and we look forward to those classic match-ups in front of a national audience.” KICKOFF WEEKEND: The Bears own 51 opening-day victories overall (51-35-5, .588), tied with Green Bay (51-36-3, .583) for the most by any NFL franchise. Chicago has won two of their last three opening-day contests. BEARS OPEN AT HOME FOR SECOND CONSECUTIVE YEAR: The Bears open the regular season schedule at home for the second straight year, hosting the NFC South champion Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, September 11 at Noon CT. The contest marks the first time since the 1998-99 seasons that Chicago will open the season in front of their home fans in back-to-back campaigns. Of Chicago’s last 18 season openers at home dating back to 1984, the Bears are 15-3. The last time the Bears opened the season against the Falcons was in 1983 when Atlanta beat Chicago, 20-17, at Soldier Field. CHICAGO HITS THE ROAD FOR CHRISTMAS NIGHT & NEW YEAR’S DAY MATCHUPS: The Bears will play on Christmas for just the second time in franchise history when they take on the Packers in Green Bay on Sunday, December 25 on NBC’s Sunday Night Football . Chicago’s only other Christmas game was in 2005 when the Bears won 24-17 in Green Bay. Chicago will also play on the road the following week on New Year’s Day against the Vikings at Noon CT. The Bears have played two other New Year’s Day contests, losing at Minnesota, 34-10, on Jan. 1, 2006, and beating the Vikings, 35-18, on the road, Jan. 1, 1995, in a Wild Card Playoff Game. BEARS BATTLE TEAMS FROM AFC WEST & NFC SOUTH DIVISIONS: Chicago will square off against all four teams from the AFC West and NFC South this season. Chicago will host Kansas City (Week 13) and San Diego (Week 11), while traveling to Denver (Week 14) and Oakland (Week 12). The Bears are 24-21 all-time against teams for the AFC West (.533). Chicago faced the AFC West in 2007, going 3-1 in those contests. The Bears will travel to New Orleans (Week 2) and take on Tampa Bay (Week 7) while hosting Atlanta (Week 1) and Carolina (Week 4). Chicago is 65-44 (.596) all-time against teams from the NFC South. The Bears beat the Panthers in Carolina, 24-6 last season, and fell at Atlanta, 20-17, in 2009. Chicago last faced all four teams from the NFC South in 2008, going 1-3 in those contests. BEARS SCHEDULED TO PLAY FOUR GAMES IN PRIMETIME: The Bears are scheduled to make four appearances on primetime television during the 2011 regular season after going 3-1 during the 2010 regular season on NBC’s Sunday Night Football (0-1), ESPN’s Monday Night Football (2-0) and NFL Network’s Thursday Night Football (1-0). The Bears first primetime contest of the 2011 season is in Week 5 on ESPN’s Monday Night Football at division rival Detroit. Six days later, the Bears host the Minnesota Vikings on NBC’s Sunday Night Football . Following the Bye Week, Chicago travels to Philadelphia in Week 9 to play the Eagles on Monday Night Football . The Bears’ final scheduled primetime appearance will be in Week 16 when the Bears travel to Green Bay to battle the Packers on Sunday Night Football on Christmas Night. Chicago is also set to play in two nationally-televised games during the preseason with the Hall of Fame Game versus St. Louis on Sunday, August 7 on NBC and in New York against the Giants on Monday, August 22 on ESPN. Under Head Coach Lovie Smith Chicago is 6-1 on Monday Night Football and 7-7 on Sunday Night Football. BEARS SET TO TRAVEL 20,756 MILES DURING 2011 SEASON: The Bears will travel 20,756 miles during the 2011 season, the most since Chicago racked up 21,482 miles in 1997.

While he dreams of becoming a great football player, he also expresses his desire to do good in his community and one day be named NFL Man of the Year. “Goals” is the first commercial developed by an NFL corporate partner dedicated to promoting the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award. “When Nationwide chose to be the presenting sponsor of the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year award in 2014, we made a promise to the league, teams, players and the Payton family that we would use our resources and creativity to help amplify the players’ great work in their communities,” said Nationwide’s Chief Marketing Officer Terrance Williams. “Nationwide’s intention with ‘Goals’ is to reinforce the idea of serving others and to shine a spotlight on the heartfelt, charitable efforts initiated by so many players.” Named for the late Hall of Fame Chicago Bears running back, the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award honors a player's outstanding community service activities off the field as well as excellence on the field.

  • Fall Edition 04
    lighting the way by sharing ideas ICA Spring 2018 EXECUTIVE SECRETARY’S COLUMN Hello Everyone! As a coach do you realize the importance of your profession? Two of my favorite quotes are, one by John Wooden, “A good coach can change a game, a great coach can change a life” and another by Billy Graham, “A coach will impact more young people in a year than an average person does in a lifetime.” So as a coach, you must realize that with being a coach comes great responsibility. If you want to be a suc - cessful coach you have to ask yourself several questions. Drew Potthoff • Am I building athletes up with the way I coach or am I tearing them down? Executive Secretary • Is my main focus of coaching on winning games or developing young athletes? Illinois Coaches • Am I more concerned with my program, the strength program, my summer program than with the academic Association success and the development of the whole athlete in my program? • Will my influence on my athletes transcend beyond the win-loss record? As coaches, we must always be self-assessing the way we coach and our priorities. The coaching profession demands that we be life- long learners, not only with the aspects of our sport but with how we are building our athletes in all aspects of their lives. Below in an excerpt from one of the Coaches Corner articles in this issue: In his book, InSideOut Coaching , Coach Joe Ehrmann describes two types of coaches: transactional and transformative. Transactional coaches, he writes, “use players as tools to meet their personal needs for validation, status and identity.” In contrast, transformational coaches use “their coaching platform to impart life-changing messages.” They are “Other-cen - tered.
