The Bears can clinch a playoff berth this weekend.
If they beat the Packers on Saturday night, they’d need the Lions to lose or tie against the Steelers at 3:25 p.m. Sunday in order to clinch a postseason spot. If the Bears tie, they’d get in with a Lions loss.
The Packers can say the same.
The NFL released their official playoff scenario rundown on Tuesday.
“I mean, it’s always good to know what’s at stake, but in the same breath, you have to keep the main thing the main thing,” said defensive tackle Grady Jarrett, who reached the Super Bowl with the Falcons. “That’s controlling what you can. That’s us going out there Saturday, putting our best foot forward, and trying to get [win] No. 11. The chips will fall where they may.
“The good thing about it is as long as we can control what we can. That’s our preparation this week, the effort we go out there and play with. That will determine the outcome of the game.”
The Bears are 10-4 and the Lions are 8-6. The two meet in the final week of the season. If the Lions beat the Steelers and then the Vikings, they’d likely have a chance to make the postseason with a Week 18 win.
