Week 14 Bye Battles: Bears-Packers, Bengals-Bills No. 1 Seed Showdowns

Week 14's December 7 slate features two pivotal matchups that could lock playoff byes and reshape conference standings- the Chicago Bears visit the Green Bay Packers in a flexed NFC North showdown, while the Cincinnati Bengals travel to Buffalo for an AFC wild-card test. The 9-3 Bears hold the NFC's temporary No. 1 seed after their Black Friday upset, but the 8-4 Packers lurk one game back in the division. The 5-7 Bengals need Joe Burrow's return to ignite a playoff push against the 7-5 Bills. These games carry bye-week implications that extend into January's bracket.
