Making the playoffs is difficult in the NFL. Few teams know this better than the Chicago Bears. They’ve only done it twice since 2011, and were bounced in the first round both times. After going 7-10 last year, it is hoped they can finally make a run at the postseason in 2024. For that to happen, they’ll need a better roster. GM Ryan Poles is currently working on that. However, sometimes the best way to reach January football is through a favorable schedule. Recent history hasn’t been kind to the Bears in this regard.
