The Bears clinched a playoff spot a couple weeks ago. Then, last week, they clinched the division. The only thing left was to try and score the First Round Bye. Unfortunately, a loss in a close game against the 49ers eliminated any chance of that. With the last game against Detroit, they are playing for either the 2nd Seed or the 3rd Seed.
If Chicago beats the Detroit Lions or the Eagles somehow lose to the Washington Commanders, they clinch the number 2 seed and a rematch against the No. 7 Green Bay Packers at Soldier Field. If the Bears lose, they lock down the number 3 spot.
Potential wild-card matchups for Bears
Bears vs. Packers: Chicago beats Lions OR Eagles lose to Commanders
Bears vs. 49ers: Chicago loses to Lions AND Eagles beat Commanders AND Seahawks beat 49ers AND Rams win out (at Falcons, vs. Cardinals)
Bears vs. Rams: Chicago loses to Lions AND Eagles beat Commanders AND 49ers beat Seahawks AND Rams win out (at Falcons, vs. Cardinals)
Bears vs. Seahawks: Chicago loses to Lions AND Eagles beat Commanders AND Rams lose to Falcons (Week 17) OR Rams lose to Cardinals
None of those games will be easy especially with our inconsistent offense and swiss cheese defense. Plus we cannot count on the luck that we won all those come from behind last minute win games.
