While it’s extremely unlikely to result in a playoff berth, the Bears are heading toward the finish line of the 2023 season with some positive momentum.

After a heartbreaking loss to the Cleveland Browns, Chicago got back on track with a 27-16 victory over the Arizona Cardinals at Soldier Field in Week 16. Justin Fields and Khalil Herbert combined for 209 yards and two touchdowns on the ground to power the Bears to their third win in four games.

Atlanta rebounded from consecutive losses, including an ugly defeat at the hands of the lowly Carolina Panthers, with an impressive 29-10 victory over the Indianapolis Colts in Week 16. At 7-8, the Falcons are just one game back of the NFC South-leading Tampa Bay Buccaneers with two weeks left in the regular season.
