If the Bears want to keep their dim playoff hopes alive, they’ll need a victory tonight when they take on the Redskins in Washington.  The Bears and Redksins are two of five teams in the NFC with a 5-and-7 record.  Whichever team wins this evening would still need some help to make the playoffs, as there are six teams who stand at 6-and-6.  The game will be carried nationally on the NFL Network, but Chicagoland fans will also be able to see the contest on WPWR-TV Channel 50.  Kickoff tonight is scheduled for 7:15.
