Chicago Sports Tonight special: The Bears Roadmap to the Big Game
Super Bowl LIX: Eagles’ defense batters Patrick Mahomes in blowout
The Eagles won 40-22 behind a dominant effort by Vic Fangio’s defense.
The Chicago Bears’ 2025 schedule has not yet been released, but we do know who they’ll play on the 17-game slate next season.
Among the Bears’ 2025 opponents are the Philadelphia Eagles, who will represent the NFC in this year’s Super Bowl in New Orleans. The Kansas City Chiefs, the AFC champions and two-time reigning Super Bowl champs, are not on the list for the Bears in 2025.
The last time the Bears took on the Super Bowl champions was in 2023 when they played the Chiefs, but it wasn’t a good day for Chicago as Patrick Mahomes and the champs romped to a 41-10 victory.
Speaking of New Orleans, the Bears will be taking on the Saints at Soldier Field in 2025, with former Saints head coach Dennis Allen now Chicago’s defensive coordinator.
Head coach Ben Johnson will of course get two chances to take on his former team, with home and road games set against the Detroit Lions.
The Bears will also have two high-profile teams coming to Soldier Field in 2025, as the Dallas Cowboys and Pittsburgh Steelers will pay visits to the Windy City.
The Bears will also get to head to glitzy Las Vegas to take on the Raiders, and will also travel to Baltimore to take on Lamar Jackson and the Ravens. They’ll head to the DC metro area as well as they take on Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders on the road for a second straight
Here are the Bears’ home opponents:
Cleveland Browns, Dallas Cowboys, Detroit Lions, Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings, New Orleans Saints, New York Giants, Pittsburgh Steelers
Here are the Bears’ road opponents:
Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals, Detroit Lions, Green Bay Packers, Las Vegas Raiders, Minnesota Vikings, Philadelphia Eagles, San Francisco 49ers, Washington Commanders
The schedule will likely be released following the NFL Draft, with typical releases occurring in May.
Vic Fangio’s Philadelphia Eagles defense was good, but not 1985 Chicago Bears good.
For a while, Super Bowl LIX looked like the Eagles defense coordinated by the former Bears defensive coordinator might smash a few defensive marks set by the fabled 1985 Super Bowl XX champion defense of Buddy Ryan.
In the end, Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs did enough offensively to avoid being record setters as the Eagles won 40-22.
he Eagles totally shut down Kansas City in the first half, limiting the Chiefs to 23 yards.
It looked impressive but was only the second-best effort in Super Bowl history for the first half and wasn’t close to what the Bears did in the first half of Super Bowl XX to turn that game into a rout.
