The Chicago Bears' 2025 schedule will be a challenge for new coach Ben Johnson and QB Caleb Williams. Here are five of their tough matchups, according to ESPN.

The Bears have the earliest bye in Week 5 before returning to Washington for a third straight season. Chicago infamously lost in Washington coming off its bye week in 2024 after Commanders wide receiver Noah Brown caught a tipped Hail Mary in the end zone as time expired. That was the beginning of 10 straight losses for the Bears.

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).

The quarterback position has become so important in the modern NFL that teams are unwilling to risk losing even slightly above average quarterbacks.
