The Bears clinched a playoff spot over the weekend by stunning the Packers in overtime and getting help from the Lions losing to the Steelers. It’ll be their first time in the postseason since backing into a spot at 8-8 in 2020, but this team is completely different and has bigger aspirations that merely getting there.
At 11-4 with a game Sunday at the 49ers and next weekend at home against the Lions, the Bears have a golden opportunity to clinch the NFC North and secure a home playoff game. They’ve also still got an outside shot at the No.
