LOS ANGELES – The Chicago Bears' hopes of reaching the playoffs in back-to-back years all but vanished on Sunday night in the warm Southern California air.
Neither team that took the field at the Los Angeles Coliseum looked playoff worthy, but the Bears’ 17-7 loss to the Los Angeles Rams puts coach Matt Nagy’s team in the most precarious of positions.
At 4-6, the Bears aren’t even in shouting distance of NFC North division leader Green Bay (8-2). And barring something totally unforeseen, San Francisco (9-1) and Seattle (8-2) are both playoff bound.
