Frequently Asked Questions
What seed will the Chicago Bears be in the playoffs after losing to the Lions?
The Bears will be the #3 seed after losing to Detroit. They needed a win or a Philadelphia loss to secure the #2 seed, but couldn't get it done in the season finale.
Who will the Bears play in the Wild Card Round?
The Bears will host the Los Angeles Rams in the Wild Card Round. If they had secured the #2 seed, they would have played the Green Bay Packers at Soldier Field instead.
How did Colston Loveland perform in the Bears' loss to Detroit?
Loveland had a rough start with two crucial dropped passes in the first half, including one on 4th down. However, he took over in the fourth quarter with key blocks and clutch catches to help tie the game at 16.
What are the main concerns with the Bears defense heading into the playoffs?
The defense struggled badly, giving up 237 yards in the first half alone and getting burned repeatedly in coverage. The pass rush needs major upgrades with at least one new DE, 1-2 new DTs, and 1-2 linebackers needed in the offseason.
How did the Bears lose the game to the Lions?
After mounting a fourth-quarter comeback to tie the game 16-16, the Bears got a late interception but gave it right back with an intentional grounding penalty. Amon-Ra St. Brown then set up Jake Bates' game-winning field goal for a 19-16 Lions victory.
