After an 11-6 season that included an NFC North title and a wild-card playoff win, Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore says the team is ready to "cause some havoc" in the league next year. Moore's comments came as he accepted the "Moment of the Year" award at NFL Honors for the Bears' improbable, overtime comeback win over the Green Bay Packers in Week 16.

Why it matters

The Bears exceeded expectations in 2025 under first-year head coach Ben Johnson, establishing themselves as the "Comeback Kings" with an NFL-record seven fourth-quarter comebacks. With Johnson and quarterback Caleb Williams leading the way, the Bears are poised to take the next step and become a force to be reckoned with in the NFC.

The details

The Bears' Week 16 win over the Packers was one of the most memorable games of the 2025 season. Chicago had fallen behind 13-3 but mounted three straight scoring drives in the fourth quarter, including a game-tying touchdown pass from Williams to rookie receiver Jahdae Walker, to force overtime. The defense then made a crucial stop on fourth-and-1, and Williams hit Moore for the walk-off touchdown.

  • The Bears won the NFC North title in 2025 with an 11-6 record.
  • The Bears' comeback win over the Packers in Week 16 was one of the most improbable wins of the 2025 season.
  • The Bears were awarded the "Moment of the Year" at the 2026 NFL Honors ceremony.
