The 2018 season was the Chicago Bears' 99th season in the National Football League (NFL), as well as the first under head coach Matt Nagy, who took over the job after John Fox was fired in 2017 following a three-year tenure.
2018 marked the Bears' first winning season since 2012 and their first playoff appearance since 2010. The Bears ensured improvement over their 5–11 record from the previous season in Week 10 when they defeated their division rival Detroit Lions. In Week 12, they scored their eighth win of the season, also against the Lions, ensuring that the Bears would not have a losing season for the first time since 2013. With a Week 14 win over the Los Angeles Rams, the Bears clinched their first winning season since 2012. With their Week 15 win over the rival Green Bay Packers, the Bears clinched their first playoff berth and division title since 2010. They finished the season 12–4 with a win over the Minnesota Vikings. Mitch Trubisky became the first Bears quarterback to make it to a Pro Bowl since Jim McMahon did so in their Super Bowl XX-winning 1985 season. The season ended in disappointment as they lost to the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles, who they had helped get into the playoffs in the last game of the season, in the NFC Wild Card Game 16–15 on January 6, 2019, at Soldier Field after Cody Parkey's game-winning field goal was blocked and hit the crossbar twice as time expired, which was the first time since 2005 that the Bears went one-and-done and their first Wild Card playoff loss since 1991.
