It's a massive role reversal in the NFC North.
The Chicago Bears are division champs. The Detroit Lions are in last place. Both teams square off in the season-finale.

There are two teams playing on the last Sunday of the season. One of them is going to the playoffs, the other is not.
The Bears' season will continue after Week 18.
The Detroit Lions, last year's NFC North champion, will be watching from their couches.
The storylines will always permeate about the student (Ben Johnson) against the master (Dan Campbell). But, Johnson is clear the Bears are focused on getting back on track after falling a few feet short of a walk-off touchdown against the 49ers.
The Bears, with a chance to springboard into the playoffs with momentum against a division opponent, will focus on that aspect of Week 18 much more than they will focus on getting back at a division opponent for a Week 2 loss.
