Forward - 2025 Season Recap

The 2025 season was the beginning of the Ben Johnson era in Chicago and it did not dissapoint. After 3 losing years where GM Ryan Poles was tearing down and rebuilding a roster under with Matt Eberflus as coach, the Bears look to have struck gold with their new hire in Johnson. A team that most predicted to finish last in the NFC North, ended up winning the division with the phrase "heart attack Bears" being common on a week to week basis. A rookie class featuring Colston Loveland, Luther Burden, Ozzy Trapillo, Kyle Monangai and others that looked like it would not contribute anything through the first 6 weeks, ended up one of the best rookie classes in the
