The Chicago Bears look to enhance their offensive strategy in 2026 by leveraging Colston Loveland's skills in 13-personnel formations. Last season, they utilized this grouping 94 times, ranking fifth in the NFL. With DJ Moore's departure to the Buffalo Bills, Loveland is expected to take on a central role alongside tight ends Cole Kmet and Sam Roush, who will support both blocking and receiving duties. Analysts anticipate increased effectiveness, as the Bears prepare for more plays in this scheme. A strong running game further complements this plan to utilize multiple tight ends effectively.
