Bears clinch NFC North after loss to Lions as Caleb Williams leads No. 2 seed into NFL Playoffs in a rare division-title scenario.
The Bears clinched the NFC North title when the Baltimore Ravens beat the Green Bay Packers 41-24 on Saturday night. It's the team's first division championship since 2018. They have the potential to become the NFC's No. 1 seed with victories over the San Francisco 49ers and Detroit Lions and one loss by the Seattle Seahawks.
