The Chicago Bears, having already clinched the NFC North, aim to secure the No. 2 seed in the NFC by defeating the Detroit Lions. Quarterback Caleb Williams has an opportunity to achieve his first 4,000-yard passing season. A win, or a Philadelphia loss, would guarantee the second seed, potentially offering home-field advantage in early playoff rounds. This marks the Bears' first postseason appearance since 2019 under coach Ben Johnson.
