The announcement also gave a potential clue into another game the Bears could play. The Eagles and Commanders will also play each other before the Bears’ game Dec. 20, opening up the possibility that all four teams will play on Christmas Day, which will be a Thursday. The Bears are scheduled to play both the Eagles and the Commanders on the road this season.
Last year, the Chiefs, Steelers, Ravens and Texans all played the Saturday before playing on Christmas Day.
While more games could be announced in the coming day, the NFL will announce its full 2025 schedule during a show at 7 p.m. Wednesday.
