The post Fans erupt as Bears take over NFC's No. 1 seed from Rams appeared first on ClutchPoints .

The Chicago Bears took care of business in Week 13, defeating the Philadelphia Eagles 24-15. Now with some extra help, they'll enter December in prime playoff positioning.

The Los Angeles Rams fell to the Carolina Panthers 31-28 on Sunday. With the loss, the Bears have now become the No. 1 seed in the NFC. Chicago and Los Angeles have identical 9-3 records, but since the Bears have a better record in the NFC (6-2) compared to the Rams (4-3), they get the advantage , via Sam Phelan of Roundtable.

Head coach Ben Johnson has taken the Bears on a complete 180 during his debut. This Bears team finished 5-12 in 2024 and hasn't been to the playoffs since 2020. Now leading the NFC, Chicago's fanbase is both excited and in a bit of shock.

"DA BEARS IS THE #1 SEED LFGG," @5XNATE_ wrote .

"The Bears are currently the 1 seed in the NFC, I repeat the Bears are the 1 seed in the NFC #WHATISGOINGON," @TimothyGreenman added .

"Look, I'm a Bears fan and I'm still trying to decipher this year," @DragnixMod posted .

For all the hype surrounding being the NFC's top overall seed, the Bears' have a difficult road to finishing the regular season in that position. They still have to play the Green Bay Packers twice, alongside the San Francisco 49ers and the Detroit Lions .

How Chicago fares against that opposition will be extremely telling. Even after their win over the Eagles, not every reaction to their No. 1 seed has been positive. If the Bears want respect, they'll need to keep winning. Taking down the Packers in Week 14 would go a long way in continuing to change the Chicago narrative.
