Twitter reacts to the Bears clinching a playoff spot after loss to Packers
Bears #Bears
The Chicago Bears are returning to the postseason for the second time in three seasons since Matt Nagy took over as head coach. While the Bears were in control of their playoff destiny — win in Week 17 and they’re in — they needed a little help along the way.
While Chicago would make the playoffs with a win over the Green Bay Packers, they could also get in with an Arizona Cardinals loss to the Los Angeles Rams.
Ultimately, Chicago lost 35-16 to the Packers, but the Rams defeated the Cardinals 18-7, which helped stamp the Bears’ ticket to the postseason.
Twitter had plenty to say about Chicago’s return to the playoffs — and after their poor performance against Green Bay, there’s a mixture of surprising optimism, pessimism and realism heading into a wild-card match-up against the No. 2 seed New Orleans Saints.
