In the 2024-2025 season, the Chicago Bears started off hot. They were 4-2 in their first 6 games and things were looking up. That was until they suffered one of the worst losing streaks in recent Bears history by losing the next 10 games straight. This disappointment the Bears fans felt was something they felt for many years prior as well, but the 4-2 start was a preview of what was to come next year.
As the 2025-2026 season crept up, fans and players were excited for this season as the Bears brought on rookie Colston Loveland and improved their defense.
Once the season started, the Bears were ready to turn around the bad reputation the team had. Unfortunately, they lost their first two games of the season with a horrible beat down from the Detroit Lions 52-21. This loss made fans lose hope and think it would be the same disappointing season they had the last few years. That was until the Bears proved everyone wrong!
The Bears went on to win their next 6 games straight and shot up into the top five in the league standings! The Bears took a game or few but it didn’t matter as their hot streak continued into their first matchup with their division rival, the Green Bay Packers. Everyone was excited for this matchup as it was a deciding factor to who’s going to win the division. The Bears were down almost the entire game but came back to win in overtime with some amazing play by Caleb Williams and DJ Moore.
The Bears finished the regular season 12-5 and had fans ecstatic for the playoffs. And in poetic fashion, the Bears played the Packers in the first round of the playoffs. In a recurring way, the Bears were down but this time it was different. They were down 21-3 at halftime and most Bears fans already gave up on them and were ready for their team to be eliminated from the playoffs. But in the same 2026 Chicago Bears way, they found a way to come back in the fourth quarter. Touchdown after touchdown the Packers had no answer for the brilliance of Caleb Williams and this Bears offense. With an incredible game from Colston Loveland, the Bears managed to get a crucial touchdown in the last few minutes and played amazing defense to seal the game.
Chicago football hasn’t been like this in years with social media going crazy. The Bears got phrases and nicknames like the “Cardiac Bears” and “It’s Chicago, yeah!”
Sadly, the Bears luck ended there with their match up against the Rams. There were some extreme highs with Caleb Williams throwing one of the greatest passes of all time to force overtime but it all came crashing down with some crucial interceptions and a Rams field goal to end the game.
This game saddened fans from across the nation as everyone wanted to see this electric team go to the super bowl. But this run just shows the damage this team could do in the future and what’s in store for this young Bears team!
