Aaron Doster-Imagn Images We continue our Chicago Bears roundtable series about their 2025 schedule, and here’s question number two. What is the hardest stretch of games on the Chicago Bears’ schedule? Give us your answer after checking out what we had to say here. Jeff “JB” Berckes: A stretch is at least three games, so for me it’s at Vikings, home against the Steelers, at Eagles, at Green Bay. It’s also in the third quarter of the season when this team should have the kinks ironed out.

Of course, none of us knew how bad it would end up being. Rumors were abound throughout the draft process following the 2023 NFL season, saying Caleb Williams, or more accurately, his father Carl, wanted to drive where Caleb would play. Reports he would “pull an Eli Manning” also surfaced at one point.
