Chicago Bears: Ben Johnson named ‘biggest loser’ of schedule release
Even before the NFL released the regular season schedule on Thursday, the Chicago Bears knew they would be embarking on one of the tougher schedules, if not the toughest schedule in the league this season.
After winning the NFC North last season, the Bears will play the other division winners in the NFC. Overall, the Bears will play teams with a combined win percentage of .550, the highest in the league.
Eric Edholm of NFL.com named Bears head coach Ben Johnson one of the biggest losers from the schedule release on Thursday night. He believes the sheer number of prime-time games will make it difficult for Johnson to keep a routine during the season.
Chicago will play three prime-time games in a row against the New England Patriots, Seattle Seahawks and Tampa Bay Buccaneers from Week 7 to Week 9. The Bears will also play at night against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 3 and the Buffalo Bills in Week 15.

“So why is Johnson a loser here? Because coaches love routine and typically hate a slew of different starting times, but the Bears will be fed a diet of them,” Edholm wrote. “They’re playing two Thursday games, one each on Friday and Saturday and two more on Mondays.
“As a result, the Bears have six short weeks with fewer than a full seven days’ preparation this season. They have five games with more than seven days of prep, but the uneven schedule is something that requires careful planning and flexibility.”
There has been some concern for the Bears’ playoff hopes around the league and in local media circles amid the schedule release. Frankly, Chicago should be better on paper for the upcoming season.
If the Bears are capable of winning a Super Bowl like they should be in Caleb Williams’ third year, a challenging schedule won’t be to blame if they don’t make it.
