After a series of disappointing runs during the past few years, the Chicago Bears are ready and roaring to change their narrative for this season. Among those who think the team can go beyond what’s expected of them is Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant.
The Bears are entering a pivotal season in 2024, led by rookie quarterback Caleb Williams, who is expected to inject new life into their offense. With a solid defense backing him up and a relatively favorable schedule, the Bears are aiming for a competitive edge in the NFC North. While they might not be Super Bowl contenders just yet, there’s a growing belief that they could secure a playoff spot this season.
The NFC North is anticipated to be a closely contested battle, particularly among the Bears, Green Bay Packers, and Detroit Lions, each facing their own set of challenges. Chicago is projected to finish with an 8-9 record, while the Lions are expected to dominate with a 13-4 record. The Packers are also forecasted to perform well, with a predicted 9-8 finish, whereas the Minnesota Vikings may struggle, projected to end the season at 6-11.
Despite the optimism surrounding Williams’ potential, he will face tough defenses within the division, making his transition critical. The Packers’ inconsistency with quarterback Jordan Love could also impact the competitive landscape.
What Kevin Durant Thinks of the Chicago Bears for the 2024=25 NFL Season
Among the many different takes Durant dropped about the new NFL season, one that stands out is his view on Williams and the Bears. This can be seen in a video of an interview with Kay Adams ClutchPoints shared on its official account.
“They got like a sneaky deep team to me. Well, especially on offense. I think they’re going to score a lot of points this year.”

As the season progresses, the Bears’ ability to contend with rivals like the Lions and Packers will be closely monitored. While key matchups will significantly influence their playoff aspirations, a lot of eyes will be on Williams to see how he’ll perform for Chicago in his first year in the league.
Overall, while the Bears are on the rise, they must maintain defensive strength and improve their offensive consistency to thrive in a fiercely competitive division. In any case, Durant will be keeping an eye on them to see how their team will fare as the season progresses.
