The Comeback is previewing all 32 NFL teams from worst to first between now and the start of the 2017 regular season on Sept. 7. Up next in our rankings are the confusing Chicago Bears.

2016 in a nutshell: The Bears lost all eight of their road games and won just three games in total, which is tied for the second-lowest total in team history.

What’s different: The Jay Cutler era is over, but Chicago has No. 2 overall pick Mitchell Trubisky and well-paid free agent addition Mike Glennon vying for the job Cutler left behind.

Why they could be awesome: Glennon could all of a sudden kick ass, despite posting garbage numbers for most of his time in Tampa, or Trubisky could pull a Dak Prescott. But they won’t be well-supported in an offense that is rebuilding.

Why they could suck: On paper, the Bears are worse this year than they were last year. Did I mention that Chicago won three games last year?

Major additions: Trubisky, Glennon, veteran safety Quintin Demps, wide receiver Victor Cruz and cornerbacks Marcus Cooper and Prince Amukamara.

Major losses: Cutler, top receiver Alshon Jeffery and backup quarterbacks Brian Hoyer and Matt Barkley.

Breakout watch: Top 2016 pick Leonard Floyd had a solid rookie season, recording seven sacks in 12 games. But if a bottom-10 defense is going to start putting it together, they’ll need Floyd to become a star on the edge.

Position to watch: With Jeffery gone, they’ll be looking for two particular youngsters to step up at wide receiver. There’s Cameron Meredith, who had 888 receiving yards out of nowhere as a 24-year-old last season, and there’s 2015 No. 7 overall pick Kevin White, who has caught just 19 passes two years into his career. White has to shake the injury bug and Meredith has to prove he wasn’t a one-year wonder.

Prediction: This is a rebuilding year, but the quarterback situation at least shows some promise. It also makes things a little unpredictable, but it’s safe to say this is a five-win team at best.

4-12, last place in the NFC North
