With the San Francisco 49ers 20 to 12 win over the Arizona Cardinals, the Chicago Bears now control their own playoff destiny.
If they win on Sunday and then again week 17 against the Green Bay Packers, they’re guaranteed to punch their ticket to the NFC playoffs. Depending on the outcomes of the Rams vs Seahawks week 16 game, and the Cardinals vs Rams week 17 game, the Bears would either be the 6 or the 7 seed.
In order to get the 6th seed, the Bears would need to finish in a 3 way tie at 9-7 with the Rams and the Cardinals.
