The Bears can clinch a playoff berth this weekend.
If they beat the Packers on Saturday night, they’d need the Lions to lose or tie against the Steelers at 3:25 p.m. Sunday in order to clinch a postseason spot. If the Bears tie, they’d get in with a Lions loss.

The NFL released their official playoff scenario rundown on Tuesday.
