Cleveland will be looking for its first win in Chicago since 1969.
The Cleveland Browns will face the Chicago Bears in Week 15 of the 2025 NFL season.
The Bears are coming off a season where they finished 5-12 behind rookie quarterback Caleb Williams, who threw for 3,541 yards, 20 touchdowns, and just six interceptions.
This will be the first time the Browns will meet the Bears in Chicago since 2017. Cleveland has not won a road game against Chicago since 1969 and dropped their last four visits to Chicago.
Even though both teams have been in the NFL since 1950, this is just the 19th meeting between clubs that collectively have won 17 league championships.
