That said, their realistic best-case scenario is overtaking the Rams for the No. 2 seed and a first-round bye. The Bears own the tiebreaker with the Rams because of their head-to-head victory Dec. 9. If they tie at 12-4 or 11-5, the Bears would get the first-round bye. The Rams need to lose at least once more for that to be possible. They’re at the Cardinals on Sunday and host the 49ers in Week 17. In other words, the Bears can’t count on getting the help they need.
