The Chicago Bears<\/a> moved to 10-4 and clinched their 11 Divisional title in the Super Bowl era.<\/h2>\n

Week 15 and Matt Nagy<\/strong> was all smiles on the sidelines as his team clinched the NFC North Division. The Bears first-year head coach looked on has his team defeated bitter rivals, the Green Bay Packers<\/a> 24-14. Few would have predicted at the start of the season that the Bears would be in the thick of the Super Bowl conversation. As week seven closed out, the Bears were playing\u00a0.500 football. However, their season gathered enough momentum to wrap up the divisional title with two games to spare.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s never a good way to start a new football season with a loss. That\u2019s exactly what happened to the Bears after Randall Cobb<\/a>\u2019s 75-yard touchdown reception overturned a 23-17<\/a> deficit to seal a win for the Packers. Both teams have since had different fortunes and their respective seasons have taken different directions.<\/p>\n

A Winning Season -The Wait is Over<\/h2>\n

The city of Chicago has had to wait patiently for a winning football season, their first since 2012 when the Bears finished 10-6. This is the first playoff appearance for the Bears since 2010.\u00a0 This season has been a complete contrast to the previous four.<\/p>\n

#DaBears<\/a> are NFC NORTH CHAMPS!<\/p>\n
