Bears mired in crowded race
Three teams have clinched playoff berths in the NFC. Three vacancies remain.
It’s no longer entirely up to the Bears as to whether they’ll claim one of those spots.
At 8-6, the Bears are on the outside looking in when it comes to the NFC playoff picture. They likely will need to win both of their remaining regular-season games against the Arizona Cardinals and Detroit Lions while hoping that other playoff contenders such as the Minnesota Vikings and Washington Redskins go cold.
