Though the Bears are out of it, Bears fans are still watching the playoffs, mainly to make sure their division rivals lose. The Packers made it in this year, and after an impressive Wild Card weekend win, they looked good enough to go all the way.
Last night, the 49ers and Packers matched up in the divisional game, and though it was a back and fourth nail-biter, the 49ers ultimately came out with the win and knocked the Packers out of the playoffs.
So, with this win against Green Bay, and many others in previous years, Bears fans have much appreciation for the 49ers. They are the team that ended the Packers season, something Bears fans have been waiting for.
So, if the Bears can't win the Super Bow this year, let's hope that it's the team that 1) always beats he Packers, and 2) their star TE is a Bears fan.
