It's finally here. After two long weeks, the Chicago Bears will play in their first playoff game since losing Super Bowl XLI. A win today will put them into the NFC Championship game with the Green Bay Packers. This would be the first time the Bears and Packers have ever met in the NFC Championship, and indeed would be only the second post season game ever between the two.
