Mike Florio

It would not be doom and gloom.

It would not be skies falling because you get to play him in two weeks at Soldier Field and you are going into that game with a good record.

So it's like, hey, you've awarded yourself some leeway.

This one, you got to win because...

The Bears are most likely going to make the playoffs.

If they lose this game, then it starts to get, hey, what's going on here?

You start looking at the calculations, and the 49ers are a game that's coming up next week, and then the Lions in Week 18.

You don't want to get to a spot where the Lions Week 18 becomes a win and get in.

And if you win this game, then you become the biggest Steelers fan in the world on Sunday.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah, because that would clinch the spot.

I don't think it would clinch the north.

It would just clinch a playoff spot.

Yep, you'd be in.

Yeah, so I think, I mean, I like the Bears in this game.

The thing I'm psyching myself out with to try to keep my expectations as low as possible, even though they're sky high,

is that the Packers might have like a bounce back, Micah Parsons out, we all got to rally type of game.

Also, I think Christian Watson is going to play.

Okay.

So he's not fully as bad.
