🚨 The Chicago Bears’ 2026 schedule is officially out — and the NFL did NOT make life easy for Ben Johnson, Caleb Williams, or this Bears team.

On today’s episode of Chicago Bears Central, Haize breaks down the roughest stretch of the Bears’ 2026 schedule: the final five games of the regular season. And make no mistake — this could be the stretch that decides the Bears’ playoff seeding, NFC North hopes, and maybe their entire season. 🐻🔥

Chicago closes the year with:

📍 Week 14: at Miami Dolphins

📍 Week 15: at Buffalo Bills

📍 Week 16: vs. Green Bay Packers on Christmas

📍 Week 17: vs. Detroit Lions

📍 Week 18: at Minnesota Vikings

That is a brutal finish. A road trap game in Miami. A Saturday road battle against Josh Allen and the Bills. Then three straight NFC North games against division rivals who all had winning records last season. If the Bears don’t have a winning record before December, that final month could get dangerous fast. 😬

Haize also dives into the massive early-season pressure now on Caleb Williams. After throwing for a franchise-record 3,942 yards, 27 touchdowns, only 7 interceptions, adding rushing scores, and leading an NFL-record seven comeback/game-winning drives, Caleb enters Year 3 with real MVP buzz — but the schedule is not doing him any favors.

The Bears open with a defensive gauntlet featuring teams like the Carolina Panthers, Minnesota Vikings, Philadelphia Eagles, Green Bay Packers, New England Patriots, Seattle Seahawks, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. If Caleb wants to force his way into the elite quarterback conversation, he has to set the tone early. 👀

Plus, listener voicemails hit on Dillon Thieneman’s upside, Ryan Poles drafting outside of fan expectations, and why the Bears have to stop worrying about national doubt and start kicking teeth in consistently.
