"The second game of the first Monday Night Football of the 2025 season sees Chicago Bears host the Minnesota Vikings at Soldier Field in a primetime NFC North showdown. The division was the league's strongest in 2024, with three teams reaching 11 or more wins, but both Chicago and Minnesota enter this year with new storylines and young quarterbacks at the forefront. Minnesota is turning the page to the J.J. McCarthy era after parting ways with Sam Darnold."
"The former Michigan star, fresh off leading the Wolverines to a national championship two years ago, inherits a roster that went 14-3 last season - the franchise's best record since 1998. Chicago, meanwhile, continues its rebuild around Caleb Williams, the No. 1 overall pick in 2024. The Bears stumbled to a 5-12 record during his rookie campaign, but the former Heisman winner now has another offseason of development and added support around him as he looks to establish himself in Year 2."
