The Chicago Bears were never the Cardinals. They were completely separate franchises.
The team was established by the A. E. Staley Company of Decatur, Illinois in 1919 as a company team. The team was known as the Decatur Staleys and joined the NFL as a charter member in 1920. The team moved to Chicago the following season and changed its name to Bears. After suffering financial losses despite a 10-1-2 record, company founder and namesake Augustus E. Staley turned control of the team to George Halas in 1921. Halas moved the team to Chicago and took on teammate as a partner. The newly minted "Chicago Staleys" won the NFL championship that year. They took the name Bears in 1922 as a tribute to baseball's Chicago Cubs which permitted the Bears to play their games at Wriggly Field.
The Chicago Bears have resided in the same city and borne the same nickname for the longest period of time in the NFL. The team was established in 1920 as the Decatur Staleys and moved to Chicago the following year, where they became the Bears. They have been known as the Chicago Bears for over a century, making it the longest continuous use of both city and nickname in the league.

The Decatur Staleys moved to Chicago after the first season. The were called the Chicago Staleys the followong year. The Changes their name to the Bears before the third year of the league. They were named the Bears by Founder George Halas, since they signed a lease to play their games at Wrigley Field, home of the Cubs. Halas figured that since it was the home of the Cubs and football players were bigger, he would use the name Bears. The Arizona Cardinals are the other team that came from Chicago. They moved to St. Louis in the late 50's/early 60's. The Bears and the Cardinals are the only franchises still in the league that began play when the league was formed and have stayed in the league since it's inception.

Bears ANSWER: The Arizona Cardinals began playing in Chicago in 1898 as an amateur athletic club. They played in the inaugural NFL season in 1920, along with the Bears, who just that year moved to Chicago from Decatur, Illinois. That only covers NFL teams, though, and we know that there were other college and amateur teams around the Chicago area at the time. Northwestern University, for example, has records of a football team as far back as 1876.
