5. Win divisional games
It goes without saying that the Bears need to take care of the division if they’re going to have a chance at making the postseason. And while the Bears have had their way with Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions over the last two seasons, the NFC North certainly poses a challenge with reigning division champions Green Bay, a dominant Vikings squad and a Lions team returning quarterback Matthew Stafford.
The Bears have gone 4-0 against the Vikings and Lions in the last two seasons, but they’ve also gone 1-3 against the Packers. Chicago needs to continue to take care of business against Detroit and Minnesota and find a way to get over the Green Bay hump.
