With their loss to the Green Bay Packers, the Chicago Bears dropped to second place in the NFC North, a half game behind the Packers. The loss also dropped them all the way to the seventh seed in the conference.
The good news is, the Bears are still in control of their own playoff destiny. If they win out, they’re in the playoffs.

Also, if they win out, they’ll be back on top of the division. The Packers travel to Chicago in two weeks, and due to the Green Bay tie, the Packers would drop a half game behind the Bears if that scenario plays out.
But first things first, and the Bears host the Cleveland Browns in Week 15, while the Packers are on the road aganst the Denver Broncos.
