Despite the ominous cloud of negativity that's inching its way toward Halas Hall after ESPN broke the story of Caleb Williams not wanting to play for the Chicago Bears before the 2024 NFL Draft, there's still a sense of optimism surrounding coach Ben Johnson and the 2025 iteration of this team.

Welcome back to Chicago, Matt Eberflus. The Bears welcome their old head coach back to Soldier Field here, in what might be a low-scoring affair that pits Johnson against fellow first-year head coach Brian Schottenheimer. This game will be proof if Johnson's offense can find ways to circumvent a defense with plenty of playmakers.

Bears insider Courtney Cronin believes that QB Caleb Williams will throw for 4,000 passing yards during the 2025 NFL season.

Huge home games at Soldier Field you won’t want to miss include contests against NFC North rivals Minnesota Vikings (Sept. 8), Green Bay Packers (in a to be determined week 16 matchup) and Detroit Lions (also TBD for week 18) as well as matchups with the Dallas Cowboys (Sept. 21) and Pittsburgh Steelers (Nov. 23).

ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter shared a significant update about the Chicago Bears' main goal for the 2025 season.

On Monday, we got announcements of games from FOX, Amazon’s Prime Video, and NBC’s TODAY Show. Yesterday (Tuesday), ESPN via Good Morning America will share some, and the NFL’s International Games will be announced on Good Morning Football on the NFL Network.
