The Chicago Bears’ loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday eliminated them from contention for the top seed in the NFC, but they still have plenty to play for this week.
The Bears are now 11-5 on the regular season and have one game to go, taking on the Detroit Lions at Soldier Field at 3:25 p.m. on Sunday afternoon.
A Bears win would lock them into the No. 2 seed in the NFC, and could potentially pave the way for them to host two playoff games if they can advance out of the first round.
Who could they play in that first game at Soldier Field next weekend? Here is a breakdown of the Bears’ possible four opponents for that game.
Green Bay Packers
The Bears would play the Packers in the first round of the postseason if they win their final game against the Lions, or if the Philadelphia Eagles lose their final game of the season to the Washington Commanders.
If the Bears Drop to the No. 3 Seed
Here’s how the Bears’ opponents break down if they lose to the Lions and the Eagles beat the Commanders.
Los Angeles Rams
-The Bears would play the Rams if Los Angeles loses its final games of the season against the Arizona Cardinals and Atlanta Falcons.
-The Rams would also drop to the sixth seed and play the Bears if they beat the Falcons but lose to the Cardinals.
-If the Rams lose to the Falcons but beat the Cardinals, their seeding would depend on the Seahawks-49ers game. If the 49ers win, Los Angeles would drop to the six-seed, but a Seahawks win would drop San Francisco to the sixth seed in that scenario.
Seattle Seahawks
-If the Rams win their final two games of the season and the 49ers beat the Seahawks, then Seattle would play the Bears in the first round of the postseason.
San Francisco 49ers
-If the Rams win their final two games and the Seahawks beat the 49ers, the Bears would play San Francisco in the first round of the playoffs.
-If the Rams lose to the Falcons and beat the Cardinals, and if the Seahawks beat the 49ers, then San Francisco would play the Bears.
