Colin Cowherd Believes the Chicago Bears Got a Break on Their Schedule
The Chicago Bears could be on the rise after their impressive offseason moves. They drafted Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Williams with the No. 1 overall pick and added All-American wide receiver Rome Odunze. The team also traded for six-time Pro Bowler Keenan Allen and signed 1,000-yard rusher D’Andre Swift.
FOX Sports’ Colin Cowherd sees potential in the Bears, especially after the recent schedule release. “Chicago has never had a truly star quarterback, and there is a belief they finally have one… You get no elite defenses early, Tennessee to open, no really heavy microscope games of note… This reminds me a lot of Houston last year,” Cowherd said.
Favorable schedule for Chicago?

This is promising news for Bears fans, who have only seen their team win the NFC North twice in the last 17 seasons. Historically, the Bears have lacked standout quarterback play, but this could change with Williams at the helm. With a roster filled with offensive talent and a favorable schedule, the Bears might surprise many, similar to how the Texans reached the 2023 AFC Divisional Round.
Chicago faces only seven games against playoff teams from the previous season, giving them a chance to capitalize on their schedule. The city, which has long awaited a football hero, might find its savior in Williams. Could he lead the Bears to victory over division rivals like the Lions and Packers and restore the team to contention? Time will tell.
