For this game in particular, it's very much a must-win for the Bears (7-6), who have a slim shot at returning to the playoffs a season after winning the NFC North, which is currently led by the Packers (10-3). Should Chicago lose and the Rams or Vikings win, the Bears will be eliminated from postseason contention. It's a stark difference for the Packers, who can clinch a playoff spot with a victory coupled with a Rams defeat.
