Forward Progress - A Chicago Bears Podcast

Did the NFL Just Help the Chicago Bears Compete?!


Listen Later

Dan Bernstein and Matt Abbatacola break down the Chicago Bears’ 2026 schedule and ask the big question:

👉 Did the NFL quietly help the Bears… or is it just pure coincidence?


0:00 Bears Schedule

10:30 NFL Team Videos

16:40 Burden and Loveland

22:45 Marquee


From bye-week timing to travel stretches and divisional matchups, Dan and Matt analyze whether the schedule sets up favorably for Chicago—or if it’s business as usual. Are there hidden advantages that could give the Bears a real edge this season?

Plus, the guys react to some of the best (and worst) NFL schedule release videos across the league—because let’s be honest, the schedules aren’t the only thing teams are competing on anymore.

And don’t miss a look at ESPN’s feature on Luther Burden and Colston Loveland, two exciting young playmakers generating serious buzz. What could they mean for the future of the NFL—and possibly the Bears’ competition?
