City officials confirmed the jets were practicing for a flyover during the national anthem at the Bears game on Sunday at Soldier Field.
While the Bears initially said the flyover would be cancelled " due to sensitive world events and an abundance of caution," the team later said the flyover "will happen pending weather."
