Key Contributors Toward Bears Playoff Chances
Perhaps no player is more important to the Bears than Chicago QB Justin Fields. The potential is definitely there, but the support around the young QB has been questionable.
With new weapons for the 2024 season, there are no more excuses for Fields to perform at a high level.
The Bears now have a high level group of pass catchers, retaining WR DJ Moore and bringing in WR Keenan Allen, and TE Gerald Everett.
The Bears will also rely on former Eagles RB D'Andre Swift to keep a steady run game going.
On defense, DE Montez Sweat's impact on the defense cannot be understated, as he will be a key foundation piece for years to come.

Bears Postseason Outlook & Predictions
The Bears fell short of hopeful expectations last season. However, considering the off season moves the team has already made, I expect the team to build on the momentum they built at the end of last season.

However, the Bears Super Bowl Odds are very doubtful.
