Frequently Asked Questions
Did the Bears clinch the NFC North division?
Yes, the Bears won the NFC North for the first time since 2018. They clinched the division when the Packers lost to the Ravens in what was called the "Backup Bowl" between Tyler Huntley and Malik Willis at Lambeau Field.
What seed are the Bears guaranteed in the playoffs?
The Bears are guaranteed at least the #3 seed after clinching the division. They can still get the #2 seed with at least one more win or an Eagles loss, and could even get the bye and home-field advantage with two wins and a Seattle loss.
How did Caleb Williams perform against the 49ers?
Caleb Williams had an excellent offensive performance, throwing touchdown bombs to Luther Burden and Colston Loveland in the first half. His deep ball has really improved in recent weeks, and he led a heroic final drive that came just short of victory.
What were the main problems with the Bears defense?
The Bears defense struggled badly, especially in the middle of the field where linebackers Tremaine Edmunds and Nahshon Wright were completely lost against Kyle Shanahan's offense. The pass rush was unable to generate much pressure on Brock Purdy throughout the game.
Who do the Bears play in their final regular season game?
The Bears host the Detroit Lions next Sunday to close out the regular season. This will be against Ben Johnson's old team, with the main goal being to get out healthy and prepare for the playoffs.
