Comments:
With Monday night's win, the Bears have clinched the NFC North division title. One big difference this year: Cutler's only thrown 12 interceptions so far this season. The bad news is, he's been sacked a league-leading 43 times so far.
The Packers are now 2-6 this season in games decided by 4 points or less. That's really not a good thing.
Two weeks ago, the 5-7 Browns had matched last year's win total, and had an excellent chance to surpass it. Now, after losses to the Bills and Bengals, their best hope for a 6th win is that the Steelers have their playoff fate locked up in week 17.
This week's losses by the Seahawks and Rams means that the NFC West division winner will, at best, have 8 wins. The Rams probably have the better chance to make it to a .500 season.
