"The Bears aren't tasked with the hardest schedule. Heck, Chicago's football team doesn't even crack the top five. That brought on quite the sigh of relief."
"Seeing the Detroit Lions with the easiest strength of schedule going into next year has me thinking about the 2023 and 2024 NFC North champs as a threat to rebound in 2026."
"Even though it is criminally early to put a ton of stock in projections, they are fun to look at this time of year - especially since the Bears have high hopes going into the 2026 season."
The Chicago Bears' strength of schedule for 2026 is not as daunting as initially thought, as they do not rank among the hardest schedules. The Detroit Lions, however, have the easiest schedule, raising concerns about their potential resurgence. The Bears are coming off a successful season with 11 wins and have high hopes for the upcoming year. Despite the early nature of projections, they provide an interesting glimpse into the team's future and competitive landscape in the NFC North.
