The Chicago Bears enjoyed a resurgent 2025-26 season under new head coach Ben Johnson. After years of mediocrity, the team shocked the NFL <\/a>by finishing 11-6 and earning a wild-card berth. Second-year quarterback Caleb Williams thrived in Johnson’s innovative, high-octane offense, displaying elite accuracy, poise, and playmaking ability. The defense, bolstered by key additions and coaching adjustments, showed improvement which earned them the No.1 seed at NFC North. Chicago pulled off an upset of the Green Bay Packers in the Wild Card round before falling in a close Divisional round battle against the Rams. <\/p>

Nobody expected the Bears to reach this level at the start of the year. Ben Johnson’s scheme unlocked Williams’ potential, turning a rebuilding roster into a legitimate contender. With young talent maturing, cap flexibility, and Johnson’s proven system in place, Chicago is poised for sustained success. The Bears are expected to improve further in upcoming seasons, potentially becoming perennial playoff threats and legitimate Super Bowl contenders. <\/p>

Bears Strength of Schedule Analysis and Prediction for 2026-27 NFL Season<\/h2>

Strength of Schedule Analysis <\/h3>

The Chicago Bears face the hardest strength of schedule in the NFL <\/a>for 2026 at .550, featuring nine home games but brutal matchups against every NFC South team (Buccaneers, Falcons, Panthers, Saints), all AFC East squads (Bills, Dolphins, Jet, Patriots), and place-matched first-place finishers (Eagles home, Jaguars home, Seahawks road). <\/p>

Coming off their surprising 11-6 wild-card season under Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams, the Bears will encounter far more resistance than 2025. While their young core and coaching continuity remain strengths, this punishing slate makes repeating playoff success difficult. <\/p>

Making the playoffs will certainly be a much harder task than it was this season, but if there’s one thing we’ve learned about the Bears, it’s that we need to stop doubting them. And they are not a up-and-coming team anymore, they are here and they are legit contenders.<\/p>
