The Chicago Bears' Week 7 victory over the New England Patriots suddenly has them back in the 2022 NFL playoffs conversation. It's unlikely they'll catch the Minnesota Vikings in the race for the NFC North, but a victory over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday will move them within one game of the final wild-card spot in the NFC.
