They discuss the possibility of the Chicago Bears being Seattle’s opening-night opponent and what that matchup could mean for both teams. The conversation then shifts to Clay’s rankings of the Bears’ 2026 opponents, breaking down which matchups could be the toughest and which games fans should circle on the calendar.
