The Bears snapped a three-year run at the bottom of the division with an 11-6 record in 2025, reaching the Divisional Round before an overtime loss to the Rams. Ben Johnson helped transform Chicago's offense into one of the NFL's top scoring units, but the Bears often relied on late comebacks and close wins. The next step in 2026 is proving they can turn playoff success into a legitimate Super Bowl push.
