The Chicago Bears took care of their business and now have to wait to see if it will be enough to make the playoffs. The Bears defeated the Detroit Lions 26-24 and will clinch a wild card birth if the Green Bay Packers defeat the Minnesota Vikings.
At the midway point of the season it seemed as if the Bears would coast to the playoffs with a 7-1 record. Instead, the Bears went 3-5 in the second half and lost their hold on the NFC North to the Packers and the wild card to the Vikings.
Calvin Johnson failed to gain the yards he needed to be the first receiver to ever go over 2,ooo yards. He finished the season with 1,964 yards receiving.
The Lions finish their season 4-12 and the Bears finish 10-6 and rooting for help from the Packers.
