The Chicago Bears ' success in 2025 can be directly traced back to last offseason, when GM Ryan Poles put on a master class for how to rebuild a franchise in just a few months.

As the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears meet Saturday for their second square-off of the season, attention is split between the matchup and reports that the Bears are expanding their search for a future stadium.
