Steelers beating the Seahawks by 10 late in the 4th.

Wild to think after Moore, the receivers with the most receptions coming into this game were: Roschon - 31, Herbert - 16, Scott - 14, and Tonyan - 8. In total that is an average of 4 receptions per game for this group. They had 11 receptions today.

Bears currently #10. They can win next week and still draft 10th if GB beats MIN tonight and MIN beats DET next week AND LVR beats DEN next week. If LVR beats DEN next week, the Bears can pick no worse than #11. The only team that can leap them is if the loser of GB vs MIN loses in Week 18. So if GB loses tonight, and to the Bears in Week 18, they would pick 10th. If MIN loses tonight and to DET, they would leap CHI. If LVR loses to DEN next week, the Bears would pick no worse than #12. So the Bears are locked into 10-12th right now with a win next week. If they happen to lose, the best they could do is 8th (if NYJ and ATL win in Week 18), and no worse than 10th. So 8-10th. OVERALL - 8th best pick, 12th worst pick Not bad at all for a potential 8 win team in the hunt late in Week 17.

that was great to see, this team is having fun.

A ton of injuries early on, most of the defense missed time to start the season. Going 2-2 with a UDFA in the middle of the season. 5 straight home wins. Chance to split the division at 3-3 next week. For this game, it's the most points ATL allowed all season, they only allowed 30+ once (31 pts to MIN). Herbert has the 2nd highest rushing total in Week 17, Moore has the 2nd highest receiving total in Week 17.

What could've been 7 straight wins and 9-7 going into Week 18. 5-2 in last 7, only losses are to CLE and DET in those collapse losses.

The Bears defense leads the league with 22 INTs, SF has 21, BAL has 18.

Postgame party time:

These are the payouts: 1st - $440 2nd - $200 3rd - $75 4th - $35 So the loser of the 3rd place game gets $35.

Bears need at least one tie. I think they need Vikings to tie the Packers.

If he averaged 268 passing and 45 yards rushing, he would have over 4,400 passing yards and 750 rushing yards, and over 5,000 total yards. The best part of the game was no turnovers, no INTs, no fumbles, and literally escaped two guaranteed sacks and got first downs. He did that in Chicago weather.

Yes, some teams have to tie.

This 20 point win also puts the Bears in plus territory for point differential for the season, now +9 going into Week 18. They started out -62 in their 0-4 start. So since then, they are +71 and 7-5 with 3 of those collapse losses.

Mason Crosby missing a GW FG (he missed a XP earlier) is how the Giants lost. That knocked the Bears out this week.

A loss next week after all this momentum would be a bummer, so next week is BIG!

Bears are now #10 at 7-9, ATL drops to #9 at 7-9.

Now the Bears need to close out with a win, eliminate GB from the playoffs and still get a great pick.

The snow and big win with defense getting turnovers had some 1985 playoffs vibe if anyone remembers the Rams game when it started snowing and the Bears defense got a sack fumble TD.

Stevenson with ANOTHER INT.

Bears eliminated, Crosby missed GW FG. Bears are locked in 100% for #1 pick.

And of course, Mason freaking Crosby misses the FG that would've kept the Bears alive. Bears are eliminated.

Yes, Giants win was the toughest one.

What a game, Herbert looks healthy. Both RBs with TDs, Herbert with back to back 100 yard games.

Giants sacked Stafford on 3rd Down, they are getting the ball back with over a minute left.

Gordon with the INT on 4th Down!
