ESPN ranks Bears offense 15th despite top-10 finish in 2025
Summary

The Chicago Bears finished the 2025 NFL season with a top 10 offense, but ESPN's Bill Barnwell ranks them 15th heading into 2026. This ranking considers the young offensive talent, including receiver Rome Odunze, who is recovering from an injury. Barnwell suggests the offense relies heavily on playcaller Ben Johnson and quarterback Caleb Williams. While the Bears have added new players to their receiving corps, the unit's potential is questioned due to turnover and young playmakers needing to prove their consistency over a full season.
