Two teams with aspirations of claiming the NFC¡¯s top seed will battle on Sunday night when the Chicago Bears take on the San Francisco 49ers in Santa Clara, California.
Both teams have 11-4 records, but the NFC North-leading Bears are currently in the No. 2 position while the 49ers are at No. 5.
Chicago clinched a playoff spot with its 22-16 overtime victory over the Green Bay Packers last week. The Bears could clinch the division crown if the Packers lose to the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday. If Green Bay wins, Chicago can clinch by beating San Francisco.
