We’re down to the final three weeks of the season. While the Chicago Bears are within reach of a playoff berth, they’re not quite there yet, and Saturday’s matchup with the Packers will be massive. Depending on how that shakes out, there are a handful of other games that will impact their playoff hopes.
Los Angeles Rams at Seattle Seahawks — Thursday, 7:15 PM CT (Prime Video)
Week 16 opens with a bang with the Rams and Seahawks squaring off on Thursday Night Football. With both teams entering with identical 11-3 records, the NFC West will feel the ramifications of this contest, as will the NFC playoff picture.

Before the Bears-Packers game on Saturday, FOX will air the Eagles-Commanders game. Washington will be without starting quarterback Jayden Daniels, but that doesn’t mean we can’t watch and hope for an upset that would further dampen the Eagles’ positioning in the NFC playoff seeding picture.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Carolina Panthers — Sunday, Noon CT (FOX)
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Carolina Panthers enter Week 16 with identical records, so one of these two will hold the top spot in the NFC South and the No. 4 seed in the NFC playoff picture. The loser will be at eight losses, meaning they’ll likely be out of the playoff picture without winning their division, leaving one less team standing between the Bears and a playoff berth. If Chicago beats Green Bay, there’s not a ton of immediate implications here for the Bears, but if they lose, and they’re fighting for positioning in the wild card race, this will be a game to watch.

Believe it or not, Bears fans have to root for Aaron Rodgers on Sunday this week. I know, I know, but any Lions loss is a good result for the Bears at this point with only three weeks remaining on the schedule and one head-to-head matchup left to close the season in Week 18. Detroit is coming

Grandpa Phil almost helped the Bears out last week with an upset victory over the Seahawks in Seattle. Can he defy Father Time one more time and take down the 49ers this week on Monday Night football? Again, if Chicago beats Green Bay on Saturday, this isn’t much of a concern, but if not, Chicago fans will be sweating out wild card seeding for the next couple of weeks, and a 49ers loss would certainly help their case.
