Hall Of Fame 2024-25 (HOF)

The NFL regular season starts in September but before that fans can get a glimpse of their rookie players when the preseason starts in August. The NFL HOF 2024 game will kick off football fever when the Chicago Bears and Houston Texans lock horns on August 1, 2024.

It is always played at Tom Benson Hall of Fame stadium in Canton, Ohio, U.S. The two teams that are selected by the league to take part in this game play one more game than the other 30 teams in preseason.

The HOF game is played on the same weekend as the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s induction ceremonies.

The two teams chosen to play the game often includes teams with whom newest HOF members are closely tied since their playing careers.

Caleb Williams vs. CJ Stroud

The Houston Texans vs Chicago Bears NFL HOF 2024 game will give a sneak peek into the next generation’s superstar quarterbacks. The Texans have got their signal caller of the future in Stroud while the Bears are hoping to have one in Williams. CJ Stroud won the Rookie Of The Year award in 2023 while Caleb Williams is the odds-on favorite to win the prestigious award for 2024 season.

This 2024 HOF matchup will also see the new look of both this franchise after a free agent frenzy both teams went on in the offseason. Texans traded for Stefon Diggs from Buffalo Bills, acquiring one of the best pass catchers in the league to an already stacked wide receiver room. On the other hand, Ryan Poles went out and added Keenan Allen and Rome Odunze through draft and FA to give Caleb all the help to succeed.

This season has both Texans and Bears fans heavily interested in it. Houston fans want to see their team take the next step after reaching the Divisional Round last year. As for Chicago, their fans truly hope Caleb Williams is that franchise altering quarterback that they have lacked since Sid Luckman days.
