It will also be the first time since 2010 that the Bears have played the Packers NFL playoffs. That year they competed in the NFC Championship Game in Green Bay, which the Packers won 21-14 on January 23, 2011.
Other times, the Bulls overlapped with the postseason schedules of other Chicago teams.
It turns out this isn’t the first time the Bulls have played another team from Chicago at the same time in the postseason.
In 1992, the Bulls and Blackhawks overlapped in June. That was the year Michael Jordan and company won their second straight NBA championship. At the same time, the Blackhawks were in the Stanley Cup Finals, although they were swept by the Pittsburgh Penguins.
In November 2016, the Bulls played the New York Knicks at the United Center during Game 7 of the World Series between the Cubs and the Cleveland Indians. The finale of that historic feat for the Cubs was caught on the Jumbotron at the United Center.
