Trubisky joins Cutler and Harbaugh in Bears' history originally appeared on NBC Sports Chicago

The Chicago Bears lost their Week 17 clash against the Green Bay Packers, but thanks to an Arizona Cardinals loss they punched their ticket to the NFL Playoffs.

That means the Packers are once again, NFC North champions. The Bears finish in second just ahead of the Minnesota Vikings, and the Detroit Lions finish in last place once again.

Team	Win	Loss	Pct.
Green Bay Packers	13	3	.813
Chicago Bears	8	8	.500
Minnesota Vikings	7	9	.438
Detroit Lions	5	11	.313

But thanks to the expanded playoff field from six teams to seven, the Bears are in the playoffs.

As the first-seed, the Packers get the lone first-round bye in the NFC.

That means the Saints will host the Bears in the Wild Card Round. The date of that game will be crucial. If the game is Saturday, Alvin Kamara cannot play because of the COVID-19 protocols. If the game is Sunday, Kamara can play.
