The Chicago Bears will enter December as the NFC’s #1 Seed

Not gonna lie, before the season started, I was just hoping the Chicago Bears would be playing some meaningful football in November, because it’s been a while since we’ve experienced that. I never imagined that the Chicago Bears would enter December as the NUMBER ONE SEED IN THE NFC!

But here we are.

Look at us.

With the Carolina Panthers’ 31-28 win over the Los Angeles Rams earlier today, the Bears have moved into the top seed due to a better Conference record.

Here’s how the top of the conference looks right now. We’ll update the standings as the games conclude.

NFC North standings during Week 13

It’s gonna feel strange rooting for the Vikings today, but for seeding/playoff purposes, the Seahawks losing will help the Bears out.

Next week’s showdown with the Packers will be huge.
