The Bears finally snapped their four-game losing streak in Week 10's win over the Detroit Lions, but Sunday night's matchup against the Los Angeles Rams is the true test for whether this team will make a legitimate playoff run over the next seven weeks.
In fact, it's essentially a playoff game between two clubs that each had Super Bowl aspirations in September. Sunday night's loser will be all but eliminated from the NFC's wild-card race.
It's also a battle between two teams with struggling quarterbacks, both pegged as franchise-caliber passers in their respective draft years. Rams quarterback Jared Goff is fresh off signing a four-year, $134 million contract in September but is having his worst season since his rookie year. He's thrown for 2,610 yards with 11 touchdowns and nine interceptions; his 82.7 passer rating is one of the worst among starting quarterbacks and even ranks behind Mitch Trubisky.

Trubisky, who finally flashed some moments worth feeling good about in his three-touchdown game against the Lions, is still an incomplete evaluation now 2.5 seasons into his career. How he performs under the intense pressure that will come along with this final seven-game stretch could ultimately determine whether he remains in Chicago's plans moving forward.
