The Chicago Bears had almost secured the No. 2 seed in the NFC before even suiting up to play on Sunday.
Even with the Philadelphia Eagles resting their starters, the Bears still had to do their best to win at home in the regular-season finale to know for sure they would claim the No. 2 seed.
That wasn't the case. They failed to score a single point through the first three quarters of the game, and they couldn't hold off the Detroit Lions in their game-winning drive.
Following the loss, Bears star quarterback Caleb Williams admitted that their offense just isn't in a good place ahead of the postseason.
"Not good enough,” Williams said, per Marquee Sports Network. “Not good enough to win this game, not good enough to win the upcoming games. We’ve got to come out starting fast, being better.”
Ben Johnson's team logged a grand total of 270 yards, 65 of which came on the ground. All of their 16 points came in a 10-minute stretch.
They turned the ball over once, punted four times and got only 16 first downs, 10 fewer than their opponents.
They will now host a Green Bay Packers team that's on a four-game losing streak and limping its way through the finish line, but divisional games are always a toss-up.
Perhaps getting Rome Odunze back on the field will open things up for Williams and the offense, but they will certainly want to burn Sunday's tape ahead of the first game of the playoffs.
