As the Chicago Bears push deeper into their wide-ranging search for a new coach, the NFL playoffs will continue this weekend with four compelling divisional-round games. There’s a lot to keep track of as Bears followers remain locked in on the developments of the coaching search while simultaneously monitoring the league’s postseason action.

The Chicago Bears‘ bold and aggressive 2024 offseason proved to be a mixed bag, so far. Keenan Allen, by all accounts, had a solid season, catching seven touchdowns from quarterback Caleb Williams, D’Andre Swift’s six rushing touchdowns came two shy of setting a new career-high while rushing for 959 yards.

The Chicago Bears coaching search started after Thanksgiving with the franchise evaluating NFL coaching candidates immediately after firing Matt Eberflus.
