The Chicago Bears are the kings of the NFC North once again.
The Bears officially clinched their first division title since 2018 on Saturday night, completing a dramatic “worst-to-first” turnaround.
Chicago’s celebration was sparked by the Baltimore Ravens, who defeated the Green Bay Packers 41-24.
Just one year after a dismal 5-12 season, the Bears sit at 11-4.
The resurgence is led by rookie head coach Ben Johnson and second-year quarterback Caleb Williams, who have transformed the team into a Super Bowl contender in record time.
While the Bears celebrate, the rest of the NFL playoff race is heating up.
Chicago still has a shot at the NFC’s No. 1 seed if they win their final games against San Francisco and Detroit and the Seahawks lose once.
Meanwhile, the Packers (9-6-1) are locked into the NFC’s No. 7 seed.
In the AFC, the Denver Broncos ended the Kansas City Chiefs’ nine-year reign over the AFC West by clinching the division title this weekend.
With only two playoff spots left across the league, the final weeks will determine who joins Chicago in the quest for a championship.
