Bears coach Ben Johnson has been saying for weeks that his team needs “at least” 11 wins to get into the playoffs. It’s time to underline that “at least” part.
The haves and have nots are very pronounced in the NFL this season as nine teams have four or fewer wins and nine have at least 10. The Bears stood in the No. 2 seed at 10-4 on Monday after beating the Browns 31-3 the day before, but there’s still a somewhat realistic scenario in which they reached 11-6 and didn’t make it.
