The Chicago Bears have been eliminated from the playoffs and they don’t have anything to play for in Week 18. But they do have an opportunity to play spoiler to the hated Green Bay Packers.
The Packers defeated the Minnesota Vikings in Week 17 to keep their playoff hopes alive. Now, they have a win-and-in scenario heading into the final week of the regular season.
Chicago has followed an eerily similar path to the Detroit Lions from last season: Start off 1-5, go on a hot streak and miss the playoffs.
