ESPN: The NFL using Detroit Lions, set up Ben Johnson to twist the knife twice in the Lions.Details…
In 2025, these NFC North opponents’ games will be shown on television.
The precise time the Chicago Bears will visit the Detroit Lions is known thanks to the official publication of the Bears’ 2025 schedule.
The Lions have been among the top teams in the NFL for the past two seasons, in addition to being the best club in the NFC North. Ben Johnson was one of the people that made that happen. Johnson became the NFL’s most sought-after head coach while serving as the offensive coordinator for the Lions.
Following his first two seasons as the offensive coordinator for the Lions, Johnson declined head coach opportunities, but this summer he was unable to turn down the chance a third time. Naturally, the Bears will bring the chance.
Ben Johnson’s first season as head coach of the Bears will be characterized by the games versus the Lions.
The Bears’ games versus the Lions are scheduled in the best possible way. In Week 2 of the NFL season, Johnson and the Bears will welcome the Lions to Detroit for their home opening. The 2025 season will conclude with a game between the Bears and Lions at Soldier Field.
Bears supporters are already hoping that Johnson will not only spoil the Lions’ home opening but also cause Detroit fans to have a bad season finale. Johnson can have the last laugh over his final squad in no greater manner.
Beyond the Johnson factor, the Bears’ games versus the Lions this season will serve as a crucial litmus test. The Bears have won the offseason before, and in previous years, clubs like the Lions have made fun of that distinction in the regular season. The Bears seemed to have adopted the Lions’ strategy this summer, emphasizing trench improvement. This season, a strong performance versus the Lions would be a clear indication that the Bears are on the right track.
