What you should know about 2025 Chicago Bears if you're a new fan

Chicago fans are ecstatic, chanting "Good, Better, Best" as if they're trying to convince themselves that this season's team is indeed the best the city has ever seen. But let's take a step back and remember that there's only one team that can truly claim the title: the 1985 Super Bowl-winning squad.

Fast forward to the present, the 2025 Chicago Bears are making waves of their own. After finishing the regular season with an impressive 11-6 record and winning the NFC North division for the first time since 2018, they're now in the playoffs for the first time since 2020. They'll be hosting a playoff game at Soldier Field for the first time since January 2019.

The team's star quarterback, Caleb Williams, is leading all those comeback wins, earning him the top spot on the NFL's leaderboard of remarkable performances. His second season in the league has been nothing short of phenomenal, with the Bears offense averaging an impressive 26.6 points a game – the 10th best in the league.

The Bears' new head coach, Ben Johnson, is also drawing praise for his team's turnaround from last season. Without Johnson at the helm, they averaged just 18.2 points per game – fifth-worst in the league. His relationship with Williams has been key to their success.

But with a young and inexperienced team comes uncertainty. The Bears have struggled to dominate opponents, ranking ninth in scoring but 23rd in points allowed this season. Can they sustain that level of performance in the playoffs?

The rivalry between the Bears and Packers is one of the most storied in NFL history, with 109 wins for the Packers and 96 wins for the Bears – a tie six times. The recent game was dramatic, with Caleb Williams leading a thrilling comeback to secure a 22-16 win.

As Bears fans prepare to take on their arch-nemesis once again, they'll be chanting "Bear Down, Chicago Bears!" in the stands. This fight song has been an iconic part of Bears culture since 1941 and is sure to give them an extra boost as they face off against their longtime rivals.

But amidst all the excitement, there's a pressing issue: Soldier Field is old, and the team needs a new stadium. The city and state have been hesitant to provide public funding, leading to speculation about the team potentially moving to Arlington Heights or even Indiana.
 
The Bears' playoff push is getting intense! 🏈 I'm loving Caleb Williams' leadership on the field, he's def a game-changer for the team. But seriously though, have you seen Soldier Field lately? It's like they're trying to hold back time 😂. The old stadium is literally in dire need of an upgrade. If they can't get funding from the city or state, I fear for the team's future. Can we see a new stadium being built ASAP? Maybe Arlington Heights could be a nice compromise? 🤔 Let's hope the Bears can make some noise both on and off the field this playoffs! 💪
 
The Bears are back baby 🎉... kinda. I mean, 11-6 ain't bad, but is it really bragging rights material? It feels like they're trying way too hard to be the new cool kids on the block. Meanwhile, their stadium situation is like the ultimate plot twist - can they even finish what they start without having to uproot the whole team? I'm loving Caleb Williams' comeback wins tho, that kid's got game 🤩. But let's not get ahead of ourselves... Soldier Field needs a serious update ASAP 😂. The Packers are coming for them and if they don't bring their A-game (or at least not 23rd in points allowed 😅), it might be an early exit from the playoffs. Bring on the drama! 💥
 
🤔 I'm loving the energy around this season but can't help thinking about the elephant in the room - that old Soldier Field is due for an upgrade 🏟️. I mean, we're thrilled for the Bears and all, but our team deserves better than a stadium that's over 80 years old 😬. It's like they're still running on fumes from the '85 squad 🤪. We need a state-of-the-art facility to showcase our team's talent and give our fans an experience we can't even imagine right now 💥. Can the city and state come together to make this happen? We deserve it! 😊
 
I'm loving this season's vibe in Chicago 🤩, but let's not get ahead of ourselves... 1985 is still the benchmark for greatness 😎. The '25 Bears are making waves, but can they sustain their form? It's all about Caleb Williams right now 👊, and I gotta say, he's on fire 🔥! Ben Johnson's got a lot to prove too, especially after the massive turnaround from last season 🔄. As for Soldier Field... it's time to get that new stadium done ASAP ⏰, can't keep relying on nostalgia, you know? Arlington Heights or Indiana might not be the best options either 😬, need something more modern and fan-friendly. Still, I'm hyped for this game against the Packers 🏈!
 
😒 I'm loving the hype around the 2025 Chicago Bears, but let's not get too carried away... they still need a solid home field advantage if they wanna make some noise in the playoffs 🏈. Soldier Field might be iconic, but it's due for an upgrade – can you imagine the team having to travel with a less-than-ideal stadium? Arlington Heights or Indiana might seem like drastic measures, but seriously, isn't it time for the city to step up and invest in a modern facility that'll give our boys (and girls) the best chance to succeed? 🤔
 
I think its crazy how passionate people are about sports teams 🤩 especially when it comes to Chicago Bears fans. They really need to get over their 1985 Super Bowl-winning squad nostalgia and focus on this season's team - they're making waves! Caleb Williams is doing an amazing job, but we gotta remember that defense can make or break a game. I'm not sure if Soldier Field is the best stadium for them anymore... it was built in the 80s 🤯! Have you guys been to any of their games this season? Was Soldier Field loud enough for Caleb Williams and the team?
 
I don't get why everyone's so hyped about this team being the best in Chicago history... I mean, they're good, but "Best" is a pretty high claim, you know? 🤔 They've got some decent players like Caleb Williams, but let's not forget that their defense is still kinda shaky. And have you seen Soldier Field? It's ancient! 😂 Can't they just get a new stadium or something? I'm all for the team doing well, but can we please talk about something else besides whether they're the best ever? 🤷‍♂️ Also, what's up with this "Bear Down" thing? Is that even still a real chant now?
 
🤔 they should just build it already... i mean, i know it's a big deal but come on, it's been 30 years since the old stadium got renovated and now it's like we're still stuck in neutral 🚗 11-6 record is great, but what's the point if we can't even call that place home? 🏠
 
I cant help but think of the past when I see this Chicago Bears team making waves 🏈👍. They're so excited about Caleb Williams' skills, and rightly so, he's a game-changer! But what really gets me is that they need a new stadium 🚧. Soldier Field might be historic, but it's old news (pun intended). I mean, think of all the teams that have played in newer, more modern stadiums and come out on top. It's like they're stuck in the 80s 🕰️. I hope the city steps up and provides public funding soon. This team deserves a proper home with top-notch facilities. The fans deserve it too - let's see them win that championship! 💪🏈
 
I'm telling ya, the Bears are on fire 💥, but they're not done with the drama yet! 😂 I mean, 11-6 is impressive, but let's be real, they've been here before... like in 1985 🙃. The 2025 squad is awesome, don't get me wrong, but can they sustain that magic in the playoffs? 🤔

And what's with Soldier Field, man? It's old news 😴. I'm all for a new stadium, and fast! The city needs to step up and make it happen. It's like, we're still using payphones from back in the day 📞! Arlington Heights or Indiana might be an option, but that'd be a major bummer for true Chicago Bears fans ❤️.

On a more serious note, though... I love how Caleb Williams is taking it to the next level 👊. He's got game, and Ben Johnson is the coach for the win 🤝! The rivalry with the Packers is gonna be electric 💥, but can the Bears bring home that W? Only time will tell ⏰. Bring on the playoffs, let's go Bears! 🎉
 
idk how much longer chicago can keep supporting their football team without a new stadium 🤔! Soldier Field is old and it's only a matter of time before it needs major renovations or worse... they're not gonna be able to host games there anymore 😬. the city/state gotta come together and make a plan to build a new stadium ASAP, or else the bears might have to move to a different location which would suck for the fans 🤕. ben johnson and caleb williams are doing an amazing job this season but they can't do it alone... the team needs a solid infrastructure behind them 💪
 
I'm so stoked for the Bears this season 🤩, but at the same time, I think they're being way too optimistic about their chances of winning it all... wait, no, that's not right - I mean, what if they do? 😅 And I'm not convinced that Caleb Williams is the real MVP, he's just getting lucky with his comebacks... or is he? 🤔

On the other hand, Ben Johnson has been doing a great job turning the team around, but isn't it weird that their success is only now happening when he's in charge? Maybe they should have stuck with the old coach... or maybe not? 😕 And what about Soldier Field - can we really afford to upgrade our stadium when there are so many other pressing issues in the city?

And honestly, I think the rivalry between the Bears and Packers is way overblown... I mean, it's just a bunch of guys in jerseys running around on the field. Can't we just focus on having fun and enjoying the game? 🏈👎
 
omg u gotta wonder how much of their success is actually down 2 good luck & not actual skill lol Caleb Williams is killin it but can they keep up this pace? and btw can we pls talk about soldier field tho its literally ancient 🤣 the team deserves a new stadium ASAP, all these playoff games & big matches deserve a modern facility 🏟️
 
I gotta say, I'm hyped for the Bears this season 🤩. Caleb Williams is a total game-changer, and his chemistry with Ben Johnson's coaching is undeniable 🔥. But, I mean, can they actually sustain that level of performance in the playoffs? They've been getting burned pretty badly by some teams in the regular season... 23rd in points allowed, that's not exactly a strength 😬.

And don't even get me started on Soldier Field 🏟️. It's an old stadium, and it's starting to show. I'm all for the Bears having their own state-of-the-art facility, but if they're gonna stay put, can we at least get some major renovations done? The team deserves better 💪.

I know some fans are hyping up the 1985 Super Bowl squad as the ultimate benchmark for success 🏆, and I get it. That was a legendary season... but let's not forget, that was a different era of football 🕰️. Can this young Bears team really carry on that magic? Only time will tell ⏰.

So yeah, I'm rooting for the Bears, but with caution 😬. Bring it on against the Packers, and let's hope they can prove themselves in the playoffs! 💥
 
I'm not buying into the hype just yet... I mean, don't get me wrong, Caleb Williams is on fire, but let's not forget that his numbers are gonna drop when the playoffs get tougher. And what about defense? They're 23rd in points allowed - how's that gonna hold up against top teams? Also, I'm skeptical about this whole "Bear Down" thing... it sounds like they're just trying to convince themselves they've got this in the bag 😒. And can we talk about Soldier Field for a sec? That place is ancient and it's only a matter of time before they have to move or renovate 🏟️.
 
omg can u believe the bears are actually making it to the playoffs!!! 🤯 they've come so far from that 18 point game last season 📉 but yeah, soldier field is like ancient history at this point lol it's time for a new stadium already 💸 and what's up with the funding thing tho? can't the city just step it up and provide the funds for a new stadium? Arlington heights and indiana are not exactly the most ideal locations either 😒 but i guess we'll just have to wait and see how this all plays out 🤔
 
idk why everyone's hyping up the 2025 bears so much... i mean, they're decent, but they still got some major issues 🤔. Caleb Williams is a solid QB, no doubt about it, but he's not invincible. They've been getting lucky with all these comeback wins 🎉. And what's with the whole "they'll never be as good as the 1985 squad" vibe? That's just nostalgia talking 🙄. The team needs to focus on winning now, not dwelling on past glories. And can we please talk about Soldier Field? it's like they're gonna move to a new city or something 😒. Arlington Heights and Indiana?! that's just crazy talk. the bears need a new stadium, no doubt, but let's get some real solutions, you know? 🤷‍♂️
 
I'm hyped for the Bears' playoff run 🤩, but I gotta say, it's crazy that nobody's talking about how old Soldier Field is 😂. I mean, 94 years is ancient in sports terms. They should be focusing on getting a new stadium ASAP so they don't have to deal with all these maintenance issues and security concerns during the playoffs 🚧💻.

And can we talk about Caleb Williams for a sec? The guy's a legend in the making 🤯. But what about the rest of the team? They're still struggling to defend against other teams, so I'm not sure how far they'll make it in the playoffs 💪🏽🚫.

I love how passionate the Bears fans are, though 😆. "Bear Down" is such an iconic song – I can already imagine them chanting that as they take on the Packers 🎶👊. It's gonna be a wild ride!
 
man I'm so hyped for this game but can we talk about something else for sec lol Soldier Field is like 50 yrs old 🤯 it's time for the Bears to get a new stadium and not just throw some band-aids on the issue they're gonna have to figure out a way to make it work or they risk losing the city's support. Caleb Williams is lit tho 👏 but can he lead them to a championship without breaking a sweat? and btw, 22-16 in the game against Packers was crazy that comeback 🔄
