The Chicago Bears are preparing for the 2026 NFL season after surpassing expectations last year. Despite not getting much recognition in the offseason, the Bears clinched the NFC North title and secured a No. 2 seed in the playoffs. Seven of their 12 wins came from trailing in the final two minutes, with quarterback Caleb Williams achieving six fourth-quarter comebacks, tying for fifth most in NFL history. While analysts predict potential regression due to close-game victories, the Bears will aim to prove doubters wrong as they compete in a stacked NFC. They will be featured prominently in prime-time games this year.
