Bears Record in Week 18 Games All-Time

Week 18: The Game Where We’re Either Dreaming of Playoffs or Drafting a Savior

Week 18 didn’t exist until 2021, which is a blessing because the Bears have a record that suggests they’d rather be on a golf course in Scottsdale by the time January rolls around.

Historically, the Bears are 1-4 in Week 18. For the first three years, it was a tradition of losing to the Vikings or Packers while our GM frantically refreshed "Mock Draft Database." However, 2024 changed everything.

The Week 18 "January Blues" Log

• 2021: L 17-31 @ Vikings (The Matt Nagy Farewell Tour).
• 2022: L 13-29 vs. Vikings (The "Tank for Caleb/Justin" Era).
• 2023: L 9-17 @ Packers (The "Maybe Next Year" special).
• 2024: W 24-22 @ Packers (The Streak-Breaker! Caleb Williams’ first Lambeau win).
• 2025: L 16-19 vs. Lions (A heartbreaking finish to a playoff-bound season).

The Takeaway: The Bears finally beat Green Bay in a Week 18 finale in 2024, which is basically the Bears' version of winning the Super Bowl.
