The Chicago Bears, after many years of being a laughingstock, suddenly have what appears to be a playoff-caliber team that should only get better in the years to come.
They drafted quarterback Caleb Williams, who has been described as a generational talent, with the No. 1 pick in this year’s draft, and they have given him several offensive weapons, including wide receiver DJ Moore.
While on “Up & Adams,” Moore was asked by Kay Adams what game this coming season he’s most looking forward to, and he said he’s looking forward to playing the Green Bay Packers.

The Packers, of course, are one of the Bears’ biggest and most bitter rivals going back many decades, and with both teams on the rise, it should be a riveting matchup this fall.
Chicago is slated to have two games versus Jordan Love and crew this coming season, which should provide plenty of excitement and thrills for fans of both teams.
Moore arrived in Chicago a year ago when the team traded the No. 1 pick in the 2023 draft to the Carolina Panthers.
It was a trade some questioned the wisdom of, but along with Moore, Chicago received four draft picks, one of which they ultimately used to take Williams.
It is rare for a prime QB such as Williams to be drafted by a team that is able to immediately give him reliable weapons on offense, but he will have Moore, No. 9 pick Rome Odunze, and six-time Pro Bowler Keenan Allen to throw the football to.
If all goes well, perhaps the Bears and even the Packers can challenge the Detroit Lions for NFC North supremacy this coming season.
