The Chicago Bears already have a playoff spot secured heading into their final two regular season games. Clinching the NFC North is in play, if not likely, possibly as soon as Week 17. From here, it's all about where they land in the NFC playoff seeding, and Sunday night's road game against the also 11-4 San Francisco 49ers stands to have a big say in that seeding arrangement.
With a strong running game, an opportunistic defense, and a quarterback who avoids throwing interceptions at the rate he does, the Bears have a formula that can foster a deep postseason run.
