The 2020 season was the Chicago Bears' 101st overall in the National Football League (NFL), their 100th in Chicago,[1] and their third under head coach Matt Nagy.
Despite starting the season 5–1, the Bears went on to lose their next six games, dropping them to 5–7. They finally snapped the losing streak with a win over the Houston Texans the following week, starting a three-game winning streak that allowed the Bears to be in playoff contention entering the final week of the season. From Week 13 to Week 16, the Bears scored at least 30 points each game, a feat that had not been achieved by the franchise since 1965.
Although the Bears lost to the Green Bay Packers in Week 17 and matched their 8–8 record from 2019, they clinched a playoff spot via tiebreakers over the Arizona Cardinals,[A] who lost in the same week to the Los Angeles Rams. The 2020 Bears became only the third team in NFL history to have a six-game losing streak during the regular season and qualify for the playoffs since the 1970 merger, joining the 1970 Cincinnati Bengals and 2014 Carolina Panthers. The Bears' season ended with a 21–9 loss to the New Orleans Saints in the Wild Card Round, with their final play being a touchdown.
