The dust has settled over the weekend now that the full 2026 NFL Schedule was released on Thursday and we're taking a 2nd look over on what challenges there are for the Chicago Bears and what breaks did they catch with the layout of the 17 game season. How much travel will the Bears face? How much rest? What's the most important stretch of games. We'll be breaking it all down with Greg Braggs Jr along with Phil Ottochian and Shayne Marsaw on CHGO Bears After Dark! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

shows even through the off season. That's right. Always here to entertain the good people,

training camp. I am your host, Greg Braggs Jr. alongside me, as always, is Phil It's ocean. Shane

0:46.1

Marsa should be here later on. He's at his kids basketball game. I know last week I said it was

0:53.3

Phil soccer game for his kids, which

0:55.9

wasn't true. So Shane might not be at a basketball game, but who knows? I always give weird

1:01.7

updates. But the update you all need to know is the great, the man, the meatball, Adam Rank,

1:09.5

back in the saddle. Welcome back, Adam Rank. How are we doing tonight? Oh, doing great. Thank you so much. This is the first time in a long time where I didn't have something going on a Monday, no sports over the weekend. And I thought I was free and clear. I was about to go practice my chipping. And then I got a call from Greg. And I'm like, oh, yeah, I'm trying to work.

worst. And they had some bad teams in the late 80s, early 90s. This is the absolute dirt worst.

2:25.8

And it doesn't look like it's ever going to get better until, you know, this is for all the
