Based on 2016 opponent winning percentage, the Denver Broncos (.578) have the toughest schedule and the Indianapolis Colts (.424) have the easiest. Somewhere in the middle tier is the Bears, whose opponent’s .479 winning percentage sits at 19th. Despite finishing last in the division in 2016, the Bears don’t have the easiest schedule among teams in the NFC North. That belongs to the Minnesota Vikings (.453) who are tied for 27th with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
