It’s never too early to look ahead at the Chicago Bears most important games of 2016.

Even though the Chicago Bears are only into their first week of training camp, and we have yet to see one preseason game this year, I couldn’t help but to look ahead to the regular season and pick out the most important games the Bears will have this year. Chicago is tied with the New York Giants with the second-easiest schedule for the 2016 season. Only six of their 16 games are against teams that made the playoffs last year, four of which are against division foes Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings.

Despite the so-called easy schedule, the Bears will still face crucial games during different points of the season. Of course, games that don’t look as important right now can easily become critical once the season starts to unfold. A logical argument can be made showing just how essential every game is on this year’s schedule, but here are my five most critical games the Bears will have in 2016.
