The 1989 Chicago Bears season was their 70th regular season completed in the National Football League. The Bears were looking to win the NFC Central for a sixth consecutive season, but instead finished with a 6-10 record and missed the playoffs for the first time since 1983. The Bears' offseason moves prior to this season also had consequences for years afterward as the pieces from Super Bowl XX's team slowly began to leave or retire.
