The Chicago Bears are poised for a potentially exciting playoff run if they secure a victory against the Green Bay Packers. If they succeed, their next opponent will not be determined until after the NFC games conclude on Sunday evening.

Bears’ Next Playoff Opponent Revealed Sunday if They Beat Packers

As a No. 2 seed in the NFC, the Bears would host a divisional round game if they advance. Currently, the top-seeded Seattle Seahawks enjoy a first-round bye and will host the lowest-seeded team remaining in the playoffs.

NFC Playoff Matchup Overview

Here’s a look at the critical NFC matchups:

No. 2 Bears vs. No. 7 Packers
No. 3 Eagles vs. No. 6 49ers
No. 4 Panthers vs. No. 5 Rams

The outcome of the Eagles vs. 49ers game has significant implications for the Bears. If the Eagles win, they will face the Bears in the divisional round. Conversely, if the 49ers win, they will match up against the Seahawks.

Potential Future Matchups for the Bears

Should the Bears advance further, they will face one of the following opponents:

The Philadelphia Eagles (previously defeated by the Bears this season)
Carolina Panthers
Los Angeles Rams

The Bears have already demonstrated their capability against the Eagles but have yet to compete against the Panthers and Rams this season. The determining factors for their next playoff opponent hinge on the results of the games on Sunday.
