The Chicago Bears schedule must've undergone some sort of voodoo ritual before the season. Only a curse would explain how difficult its been. In 2016 they reportedly had the sixth-toughest schedule in the entire league. Combined with a litany of injuries, there was no surprise their season ended in a catastrophic 3-13 thud.
Hopes started to change though at the start of 2017. Estimates indicated that they would have the second-easiest schedule in the league. Problem is no league changes more in one year than the NFL. True to form that cupcake schedule has since transformed into a spiked flail of death. Not only has it been the toughest in football thus far, it hasn't even been close.
To date eight of their opponents boast a record of .500 or better. Four of them currently lead their respective divisions. One has the best record in the NFL and two others are tied for the second-best record. Considering the Bears have a rookie quarterback, no viable receivers and an outmatched coaching staff it's beginning to make sense why this team has struggled so much.
