We’ve passed the halfway point of the 2025 NFL season, and our Chicago Bears are in those In The Hunt graphics, and it’s for real! At (5-3), they are currently in the NFC’s eighth seed, right behind the (5-3) Detroit Lions, who hold the tie-breaker over Chicago due to their Week 2 win.
The NFC is a lot more competitive than many figured it’d be, so the Bears can’t afford a loss on Sunday in a game they should win. The New York Giants are even worse at stopping the run than the Bengals are, with the G-Men
allowing a league-worst 5.5 yards per carry, and the Bears’ running back room is getting healthier.
GAME DAY INFO
Kickoff is scheduled for Sunday, November 9, at 12:00 p.m. (CT) from Soldier Field in Chicago, Illinois. The weather will be cloudy and windy, with a few flurries or snow showers possible. The high will be 37°F with winds of about 20 to 30 mph.
