NFC Playoff Picture: Bears are the No. 1 seed after Rams' loss to Panthers

The Eagles are 8-4 and showing signs of 2023 after losing their second straight game in ugly fashion. After blowing a 21-point lead to Dallas last Sunday, Philadelphia was dominated by the Chicago offensive line as the Bears racked up 281 rushing yards and 425 total yards, as Ben Johnson's team is now 9-3 and the second-best record in the NFC.

The loss allowed the Bears to swap spots with the Eagles, but Chicago is now the top seed in the NFC after Carolina snapped the Rams ' six-game win streak with a 31-28 home win. Matthew Stafford finished 18 of 28 passing for 243 yards and two touchdowns, with two interceptions in addition to the lost fumble.

Defensively, the Rams allowed 164 yards on the ground to the Panthers, their second-most allowed in a single game this season behind 179 by the Rams in Week 6.
