Report Card 2025
Chicago Bears
Overall Ranking
Overview
The Chicago Bears rank 14th overall in this year’s survey. They continue to provide a high-quality facility, which the players appreciate. The players’ most frequent complaint was with their former head coach Matt Eberflus. The players felt like he lacked a willingness to listen to the players and the players’ leadership council, and he mismanaged the weekly team schedule. After the team completed the survey, the Bears terminated Eberflus and hired Ben Johnson as their new head coach. It will be interesting for the players to see if some of these areas change next year.
