Every year I rank the Bears’ top 10 plays of the season. But I didn’t think that would do justice to a magical 2025 campaign that was filled with incredible, unforgettable moments. So, this year I decided to rank the top 25 plays of ’25.
I will count down those plays throughout this week, five per day, beginning with Monday’s version, which consists of plays 25-21. As always, I tried to balance the degree of difficulty with the significance of the play in a winning effort.
No. 25
Week 13 (Nov. 28)
Kevin Byard III’s diving interception in Philadelphia
Byard helped the Bears record a 25-16 victory over Eagles on Black Friday with a diving interception. Flushed from the pocket by defensive tackle Andrew Billings and also pressured by defensive tackle Chris Williams, quarterback Jalen Hurts tried to lead receiver A.J. Brown down the sideline. But Byard sprinted from the middle of the field and dove to snare the pass at the Chicago 49. It was the sixth interception of the season for Byard, a 10th-year safety who was named first-team All Pro and voted to the Pro Bowl after leading the NFL with seven picks.
