Chicago was already enjoying an incredible campaign after securing a playoff berth. They pulled it off during its first season with Ben Johnson as the head coach, setting the stage for its return to the postseason for the first time since 2020.
What they haven't done was winning the NFC North, something the franchise hasn't pulled off since 2018. All they needed was for the Ravens to beat the Packers in Week 17 of the 2025 NFL season. Safe to say that Baltimore got the job done after beating Green Bay 41-24, gifting Chicago the division crown in the process.
