Studs and duds from Chicago Bears’ Week 18 loss to Lions

The Chicago Bears needed either a win over the Detroit Lions or a loss by the Philadelphia Eagles to the Washington Commanders in Week 18 to clinch the No. 2 seed in the 2025 NFL playoffs.

Thank you, Philadelphia Eagles.

The Bears lost a nailbiter to the Lions, 19-16, on a last-second field goal. The Eagles lost by a touchdown, 24-17, thanks to a fourth-quarter comeback by the Commanders.

At the end of all the madness, the Chicago Bears will host the Green Bay Packers in a No. 2 vs. No. 7 game in the Wild Card round. If the Bears win, they’re guaranteed a second home playoff game.

Indeed, it would’ve been nice to enter the playoffs with a win, but that wasn’t in the cards for Chicago on Sunday.

Here are the Bears’ studs and duds from Week 18.
