🚨 The Chicago Bears’ 2026 schedule leaks are starting to roll in — and the NFL may be putting Ben Johnson, Caleb Williams, and this entire team directly under the spotlight.

On today’s episode of Chicago Bears Central, Haize breaks down the latest Bears schedule leaks, including a rumored Week 1 road matchup against the Carolina Panthers, major prime-time games against the Philadelphia Eagles, New England Patriots, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a Thanksgiving matchup against the Detroit Lions, and a huge late-season NFC North stretch. 🐻🔥

The Bears reportedly have the toughest schedule in the NFL by strength of schedule, and that means Year 2 under Ben Johnson is going to test whether Chicago is truly ready to move from “exciting breakout team” to legitimate NFC contender.

But that’s not all…

Haize also reacts to the latest round of Caleb Williams disrespect after ESPN’s Dan Orlovsky ranked Jared Goff and Jordan Love as the clear top two quarterbacks in the NFC North. After Caleb threw for a franchise-record 3,942 yards, 27 touchdowns, only 7 interceptions, and led the Bears to the NFC Divisional Round, are analysts still sleeping on QB1? 👀

Plus, Haize dives into one major issue the Bears need to clean up in 2026: slow starts. Chicago has been inconsistent in home openers and lost both its home and road openers last season before catching fire down the stretch. Can Ben Johnson and Dennis Allen get this team ready earlier this year?

And finally, Haize breaks down why the Bears may have found the perfect role for D’Andre Swift. After struggling in 2024, Swift bounced back in 2025 with 1,087 rushing yards, 9 touchdowns, and a major jump in rushing success rate while sharing the backfield with Kyle Monangai. ⚡
