With the schedule down to two regular-season games remaining and the Bears having clinched a playoff berth last week, the list of games of importance for Bears fans to watch is shrinking. However, with a shot at clinching the NFC North this week on the table and a path to the NFC’s top seed and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs in sight, there are a few games of interest this week.
Baltimore Ravens at Green Bay Packers — Saturday, 7:00 PM CT (Peacock)
With some help from the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday, Chicago could be celebrating their first division title since 2018 before they even take the field in Santa Clara for their matchup with the 49ers. The problem is that Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is listed as doubtful for Saturday’s meeting with Green Bay at Lambeau Field, which means Tyler Huntley will start for the Ravens.
For the Packers, quarterbacks Jordan Love (concussion protocol/left shoulder) and Malik Willis (illness/right shoulder) were among several questionable for Saturday night’s game against the Baltimore Ravens. However, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports (via Twitter/X) that Love has been ruled out and that Willis will start for the Packers.
Also, let’s keep an eye on what is happening at the running back position in Week 17. Both Josh Jacobs and Derrick Henry were benched in the fourth quarter of their losses in Week 16.

The Bears have a path to the No. 1 seed in the NFC, but it’ll require some help from the Carolina Panthers, who host the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday afternoon. If Carolina can beat the Seahawks, and the Bears can beat the 49ers, Chicago would hold the No. 1 seed in the NFC heading into the final week of the season by way of a conference-winning percentage tiebreaker.
It’s a big if, but it’s possible nonetheless. Remember, the Panthers already beat the Los Angeles Rams this season and have been playing good football of late. An upset isn’t off the table here. It would also help the Panthers’ pursuit of the NFC South title, which they could clinch this week with a win and a Buccaneers loss or tie.
