There’s virtually nothing on the line in the Bears’ season finale against the Packers. Even the false narrative of a victory saving the head coach’s job isn’t alive this time.
The Bears can knock the Packers from the No. 6 seed to No. 7 with a victory — forcing them into a wild-card playoff game on the road against the Eagles (13-3) or the Rams (10-6). But that’s only if the Commanders lose to the Cowboys on Sunday.
But it’s a final opportunity for the Bears’ defense to provide some hope that the new coach will have a solid defensive foundation to start with in 2025.
