Windy City Gridiron
When the NFL announced the 2025 schedule, this one was circled by a lot of Chicago fans, and I’m sure by a few Bears’ players. It’s a prime-time matchup between the Chicago Bears (2-2) and the Washington Commanders (3-2), and just like last year, the Bears travel to Washington following their bye week.
The Bears started slow in that game last season, falling behind 12 to 0 mid-way through the third. But they came back to take the lead with just 25 seconds left on the clock… and we all remember how that game turned out.
Emotions will be high in this one.
Kickoff is scheduled for Monday night at 7:15 p.m. (CT) from Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland. The weather is expected to be in the mid-50s, with a slight chance of rain.
The game will air just on ABC’s Monday Night Football, with their number one crew of Joe Buck and Troy Aikman in the booth. The ESPN feed will have the Buffalo Bills and Atlanta Falcons on an hour earlier.
ESPN Chicago (1000 AM, 100.3 FM HD2) with Jeff Joniak, Tom Thayer, and Jason McKie on the call, and LATINO MIX 93.5 FM (Spanish) with Omar Ramos.
The Bears game can also be heard on SiriusXM.
Our team has a bunch of Bears vs. Commanders previews that you can find in this week’s story stream here.
Taylor Doll’s weekly Making Monsters preview is off this week as she’s traveling, but you can check me out with my guy Devon Booker at the Line For Line Podcast previewing the game.

The last time I checked the odds from our partners at FanDuel, the oddsmakers have the Bears at +4.5 points and the over/under at 50.
