Bears' Playoff Path: Scenarios to Clinch Spot
Full Transcript
The Chicago Bears are in a crucial position to clinch a playoff berth this weekend. If they defeat the Green Bay Packers on Saturday night, they must also rely on the Detroit Lions to lose or tie against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday afternoon.
As reported by the Chicago Sun-Times, a tie for the Bears would still allow them to advance if the Lions lose. Defensive tackle Grady Jarrett emphasized the importance of focusing on their own game, stating, 'That's controlling what you can.' The Bears currently hold a record of ten wins and four losses, while the Lions sit at eight wins and six losses.
Meanwhile, Bear Goggles On noted the irony that a victory over the Packers could be complemented by the Lions losing to a team led by Aaron Rodgers, a former thorn in their side. The dynamics of the final two weeks are critical, as the Bears aim for a strong finish and a secure spot in the postseason.
