The Chicago Bears clinched the NFC North for the first time since 2010 Sunday with a big win over the Green Bay Packers. Here are three MVPs for the playoff-bound Bears.

The Chicago Bears came into Sunday looking for revenge on their rivals, the Green Bay Packers. It was the Packers who came back from a 20-0 halftime deficit in week one to win 24-23 and stun the Bears in Green Bay.

Fast forward three months and the Bears bounced back to lead the division with a record of 9-4. They were in the driver’s seat and could clinch the division with a win over the Packers at Soldier Field.

The Packers’ season went off the rails weeks ago, and the team came into this game with a 5-7-1 record. Packers coach Mike McCarthy was fired after a week 13 loss to the Arizona Cardinals.

Despite this, quarterback Aaron Rodgers came into the game holding an NFL record with 368 straight completions without an interception. While the Packers’ playoff hopes were pretty much gone, this wasn’t going to be an easy win for the Bears.

It was a close game all afternoon, but the Bears were able to hang on for a 24-17 win. The team clinched the division with the win and also eliminated the Packers from playoff contention.

It was the sweet revenge the Bears and their fans wanted, but this is just the beginning of the challenges that will face the team as they go into the playoffs. The competition will ramp up, but this team hasn’t been scared of a challenge all season.

There were a lot of players that made a big impact for the Bears on Sunday. Here are who I consider the three most valuable players from the big win over the Packers on Sunday. It wasn’t an easy choice.
