Head coach Ben Johnson’s squad looked sharper, more disciplined, and finally delivered on the promise that had eluded them early in the season.

NFL Week 1 Preview: Bears Ready to Roar Against Vikings in Monday Night Showdown

The Chicago Bears kick off the 2025 NFL season under the Monday Night Football lights with a fresh identity — and perhaps, finally, real hope.

🐻Why It’s Different in Chicago This Time

For over 100 years, the Bears have mostly been reactive, not proactive, lacked QB vision and offensive innovation, chased old-school toughness instead of modern football smarts.

This guy in the building is a lot different than anyone that’s ever even stepped foot in Lake Forest in over 100 years.

Takeaways from the Bears' Preseason Opener: Standouts, Struggles, and Signs of Promise.

The first preseason game rarely offers a full picture of what a team will become in Week 1. It's a time for players to get their legs under them, shake off the rust, and start playing competitive football again—albeit in a very "vanilla" version of the playbook. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t plenty to learn, especially from young players trying to earn a spot on the 53-man roster.

Wheels Up in 2025

After earning a Pro Bowl nod in 2023 during his first year with the Bears, Montez Sweat looks primed to elevate his game even further in 2025. Defensive Coordinator Dennis Allen brings a unique and aggressive approach to the front seven, often using a singular 9-technique EDGE to create pressure. That’s a perfect fit for Sweat’s combination of speed and power, allowing him to take wide angles and attack off the edge with more freedom.

Commanding Attention: Luke McCaffrey’s Year 2 Leap Incoming

Now entering Year 2 with the Washington Commanders, the 6’2", 198-pound McCaffrey is an intriguing deep sleeper in all fantasy formats. Despite the learning curve, he’s shown flashes that hint at a much bigger leap in Year 2. There’s competition on the depth chart, sure — the Commanders drafted Jaylin Lane in the 4th round, and Michael Gallup is in the mix — but Noah Brown could be out for the year, and let’s be honest: this isn’t an overwhelmingly crowded WR room.

Shawn’s Top 10 Rookie RBs

That’s not just elite, it’s historic. For perspective, that means even if defenders got to him instantly, he still turned runs into chunk plays almost every time. And the fact that the entire Raiders rushing unit couldn’t even match that total with 380 attempts? Brutal for Vegas, but a huge endorsement for Jeanty.

Who is Kyle Monangai?

Who is Kyle Monangai?

At Rutgers, he was a workhorse with solid production between the tackles—showing good vision, balance, and toughness. However, his limited contribution in the passing game (both as a receiver and in pass protection) likely hurt his draft stock. NFL teams generally want third-down backs to be versatile, and Monangai’s lack of dynamic receiving skills makes him more of a two-down option initially.
