So it’s really all going to come down to this, eh?
Bears-Packers and Chicago has to beat their rival for the easiest path to the postseason. It’s not like that rival has beat them like a drum over the last decade-plus...
Yes, there is a way for the Bears to lose to Green Bay and still get into the playoffs, with a loss by the Arizona Cardinals, but now the Cardinals are facing a backup Rams quarterback.
The most straightforward and easiest way is for Chicago to win their way in. No sweating other games, no falling backwards into the playoffs, just win and be in.
