Statistical Breakdown: How Bears and Packers stack up before wild card

The Chicago Bears will host the Green Bay Packers in the wild card playoffs, where Chicago is looking for its first postseason win since 2011.

The Bears are coming off a disappointing 19-16 loss to the Detroit Lions, where Chicago came out flat for three quarters on offense. Of course, they found a way to march back in the fourth quarter, thanks to a pair of Caleb Williams touchdown drives, but it was too little too late. The Bears defense also continued to struggle, whether it was against the run or in coverage. It wasn't the way Chicago wanted to stroll into the postseason.
