Thank the Los Angeles Rams for the Chicago Bears playoff berth, or blame the Arizona Cardinals for the Bears likely to be picking outside of the Top 20. Regardless of which camp you fall in to, the Bears are in the playoffs with a Sunday date against the New Orleans Saints.
For the most part, the Bears hung well against a dominant Green Bay Packers team. They actually went into the fourth quarter down 21-16 with a chance to take the lead. A failed fourth down attempt later and things got out of hand quickly and the score ended up at 35-16.
