cago BThe entire NFL world has their eyes glued to the 2025 draft’s first-round. And in the opening moments of the spectacle, the Chicago Bears found themselves getting clowned.
Longtime Green Bay Packers linebacker Clay Matthews addressed the crowd, since the event is taking place in Green Bay. He immediately took an opportunity to take a shot at the Packers’ biggest rival in the Bears. Matthews claimed he received a call from President Donald Trump, reminding Bears fans where they stand, via Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times.
“My fellow Americans, the Bears still suck,” Matthews proclaimed.

General manager Ryan Poles and company are busy contemplating what to do with the No. 10 overall pick. However, the Bears’ social media team had time to clap back at Matthews. They didn’t use any words, just a picture, reminding the Packers what happened last time they were on the field.

Last Chicago Bears-Packers matchup
The Bears and Packers faced off in the final week of the regular season. They were on two different trajectories, as Chicago was on a 10-game losing streak while Green Bay was playoff bound. However, the Week 17 matchup told a different story.
The Bears took a one-point lead into halftime before a scoreless third quarter. Both sides exchanged blows until Chicago dealt the final nail in the coffin. As time expired off the clock, Cairo Santos hit a 51-yard game-winning field goal, stealing the victory.
While Green Bay had backup quarterback Malik Willis in for most of the game, it doesn’t matter. Every matchup in the Bears-Packers rivalry is a big one, and Chicago got the last laugh.
The 2025 NFL Draft didn’t start as the Bears hoped, with the organization getting blasted in front of every fan of the sport. However, Matthews’ quip won’t matter much if Chicago comes away with a premier 2025 draft class.
