2. NFC North rivals take to the divisional stage

Following an NFC North title in 2018, the Bears were expected to compete for another division title this season. Unfortunately, the Bears failed to live up to the lofty expectations and fell from first to third in the division with a 8-8 record.

The Bears will be reminded of their fall from grace as they watch division foes the Minnesota Vikings and Green Bay Packers play in divisional games this weekend. The sixth-seeded Vikings will face a tall order in battling the San Francisco 49ers, the No. 1 seed in the NFC. The Packers, who looked up the No. 2 seed, will host the fifth-seeded Seattle Seahawks.

By the end of Sunday night, both the Vikings and Packers could be eliminated from the playoffs, which would certainly delight Bears fans.
