We’ve got one game left for Week 1 of the 2025/’26 NFL season. This week’s Monday Night Football game features an NFC North matchup between the Minnesota Vikings and the Chicago Bears. This division is expected to be one of the best in the NFL, and every division game should be must-watch tv. The Bears drafted Caleb Williams No. 1 overall last year, and then their season imploded after Jayden Daniels’ Hail Mary TD took their souls. They hired Ben Johnson, who was the Lions OC, to be their new head coach, and to fix Williams and the team. Will they climb out of the North’s basement?
