Vikings Break in New QB as Bears Seek Passing Boost in MNF Clash
8 Sep
Summary
- Vikings' new QB J.J. McCarthy faces Bears' defense
- Bears hope new coach Ben Johnson can spark passing game
- BetMGM offers bonus bets for new users in select states
As the 2025 NFL season kicks off, the Minnesota Vikings are set to break in a new quarterback in J.J. McCarthy, a Chicagoland native, when they visit the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football. The Vikings are coming off a 14-win season in 2024, though their campaign ended in disappointment with a Wild Card round exit.
The Bears, on the other hand, are generating excitement with the arrival of new head coach Ben Johnson, who will be tasked with overseeing the offense and potentially ending the franchise's drought of never having a 4,000-yard passer. However, the Bears' defense could be missing key players like T.J. Edwards and Jaylon Johnson, which could make it challenging to contain the Vikings' aggressive defense that led the league in interceptions last year.
Ahead of the highly anticipated matchup, sports betting platform BetMGM is offering new users in select states the chance to claim either $150 in bonus bets after winning a $10+ wager or up to $1,500 in bonus bets if their first wager loses. The platform emphasizes responsible gaming, providing users with tools and support to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
