Bears Battered but Confident Enter Playoffs
Chicago, holder of the NFC Central title at 12 4, will give players extra healing time with a shortened practice week. Starters McMichael and Hampton sustained injuries in the Minnesota loss and may miss reps for a week while Dent and Moorehead are out. Ditka remains confident about the playoffs, says Tomczak starts at quarterback unless McMahon's health changes. The team plans Christmas break with subsequent travel to Suwanee Georgia for next week’s practice.
