Check out what a few of our team had to say about the Bears 2025 schedule in our latest roundtable series.
We’re kicking off a 2025 Chicago Bears schedule roundtable over the next few days, and topic number one is:
What is the best game on the schedule?
“Best” could mean something different to everyone, so whatever your reasoning, give us your answer in the comment section after checking out what our team had to say.
Bryan Orenchuk: The best game on the schedule has to be Monday night after our BYE against the Commanders on the road. Two young promising teams led by last year’s Rookie of the Year and the #1 overall pick. It should be the NFC’s version of Chiefs vs. Bills for years to come.
Josh Sunderbruch: Best game on the schedule is Week 1, because it means Bears football is back.
TJ Starman: I’d like to pick a divisional game, but I don’t like the timing of them paired with the unpredictability of the NFC North going into this season. So with that in mind, I have to go with Week 6 at Washington on Monday Night Football. You know, a lot of the guys in the locker room will have that one circled after last year, and coming off the bye, it’ll be a good benchmark game too on prime time.
Jeff “JB” Berckes: Bears head to the land of milk and Spotted Cow to take on That Team Up North the first week of December to deliver a fatal blow to their season? Let’s go!
Sam Householder: It’s week six at Washington. Everyone is going to see last year’s play over and over that week, we’re going to hear all about it, yes. But by week 6, teams are rounding into form, they have their identity, and things start to get real. It’s the perfect spot for a test against a playoff team from last season.
Lester A. Wiltfong Jr.: I’ve been envisioning what Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams would look like together for a long time now, so the best game on the schedule is the Monday Night opener against the Vikings, where we finally get to see it.
Dr. Mason West: For me, it is the Monday night game at Washington after the bye. Bears have been terrible after bye weeks forever, and they got embarrassed with the Fail Mary. I appreciate Daniels as a talent, but I need Caleb to reclaim the crown as the best quarterback from that draft. Bears can really set the narrative with a win there.
