The 1987 Chicago Bears season was their 68th regular season and 18th post-season completed in the National Football League. The club was looking to return to the playoffs and win the NFC Central Division for a fourth consecutive year and avenge their loss in the Divisional Playoffs the year before when the team finished 14-2. The Bears' record fell off slightly, with the team finishing at 11-4 in the strike-shortened season, but the team earned their fourth straight division title and another first round bye in the playoffs. However, as it was in 1986, the Bears were eliminated at home in the Divisional Playoffs by the eventual Super Bowl champion Washington Redskins.
