Packers clinch No. 1 seed in NFC with win over Bears

The Packers are the No. 1 seed in the National Football Conference after beating the Bears at Soldier Field in the season finale on Sunday.

The road to the Super Bowl in the NFC will run through Green Bay, Wisconsin.

The Packers earned the No. 1 seed in the conference with a 35-16 win over the Chicago Bears during Sunday’s season finale at Soldier Field.

Matt LaFleur’s team finished 13-3 for the second-straight season.

Starting this season, only one team in each conference earns the No. 1 seed. The Packers and Kansas City Chiefs are the two No. 1 seeds in 2020.

As the top seed, the Packers will get a first-round bye and homefield advantage throughout the NFC playoffs. They are guaranteed a game at Lambeau Field against the lowest remaining seed in the NFC Divisional Round in two weeks and would, with a win, play the NFC Championship Game in Green Bay for the first time since the 2007 season.

The Packers haven’t been the No. 1 seed in the NFC since the 2011 season.
