The Bears can clinch the No. 2 seed in the NFC playoffs by winning out.

They can get there a lot faster, too — before kickoff against the 49ers on Sunday night.

If the Packers lose to the Ravens on Saturday night and the Eagles lose to the Bills on Sunday afternoon, then the Bears will be guaranteed the No. 2 seed regardless of what they do the last two games. If they became the No. 2 seed, they’d likely host the Packers in Round 2.

The Bears can land the top overall seed.
