NFL division races tighten after surprises and upsets — and Chicago Bears own the NFC’s top seed now
The Chicago Bears (9-3) took over the top seed from the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC because they currently hold the tiebreaker.
It's going to take more for the Bears to get to the playoffs than beating the Eagles and even as top seeds now coach Ben Johnson sees a win total necessary.
Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears have received great news about their playoff race ahead of Week 14's game against the Green Bay Packers.
The Chicago Bears have been one of the surprise teams in the NFL this season, and they continued their ascent on "Black Friday" with a 24-15 win on the road against the Philadelphia Eagles. This victory pushes Caleb Williams and Co. to 9-3 on the season, which helps them leapfrog the now 8-4 Eagles for the No. 2 seed in the NFC.
Johnson guided his Bears to a 24-15 win over the Eagles, with quarterback Caleb Williams throwing for 154 yards and one touchdown on 17-of-36 passing. Running backs Kyle Monangai and D'Andre Swift both scored rushing touchdowns to keep the team ahead from start to finish.
The Bears have several players worthy of postseason accolades, a testament to an 8-3 record entering their Black Friday game in Philly.
