Mike Spofford, of Packers.com, reports the Chicago Bears are one win away from clinching no worse than a tie for first place in the NFC North. One more win from the Bears plus a loss or tie by the Green Bay Packers and a loss or tie by the Minnesota Vikings would clinch the division. The Bears will play the New England Patriots Week 12.

Nobody should be shocked by this news at this point.
Sad but true.

If they lost it now then it would have to be one of the biggest choke jobs of recent years.. still it ain't all over til the fat lady sings.. an I haven't heard her tuning up just yet

I still think they'll choke in the playoffs.

I agree 100%

The Panthers is who im guessing will beat them again, maybe a healthy Giants team could though.

Love to see the Saints do it but I think they have overachived to this point and will be lucky to even make the playoffs.

I've never been a fan of the wildcard slots in the playoffs, sure, a team gels at the right time and takes off and dominates like last year....but they are the exceptioins to the rule.

The second week of the playoffs is when the real teams are in the mix and any mixup or mistake can mean death.
I love it.
The team has to be tough in at least the O, D, or special teams and at least above average in the other two. I love the playoffs.
The Bears are still at the top in their D and their O is coming along fine, I would love to see them choke down the stretch.
