Bears over Jaguars: CBS's playoff bracket ends with Chicago celebrating

NFL on CBS's Week 9 forecast sends Pittsburgh deep into January and puts three NFC North teams through the opening round.

Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 134,057 views a day, 13 times a normal first day on this channel (10,449).

What would Chicago have to get through to win it all? In NFL on CBS's playoff forecast, the route runs through Carolina, Minnesota and top-seeded San Francisco before a Super Bowl meeting with Jacksonville.

The host's answer at the end is unambiguous: "Give me Chicago winning the Super Bowl." This is a hypothetical bracket entering Week 9, not a set of confirmed playoff matchups.

The Short has drawn roughly 107,000 views in 15 hours, an unusually fast start for the channel. Its comment section has already attracted nearly thirty times as many comments as a typical Short gets in a full first day.

There is plenty along the way for supporters to pick apart. Jacksonville eliminates Kansas City and Buffalo before ending Pittsburgh's run in the AFC Championship. Chicago's projected victory over Minnesota follows a Wild Card round in which the Bears, Vikings and Lions all advance. Detroit then falls to San Francisco.

Viewers are discussing the proposed Jaguars-Bears final, while one of the busiest exchanges questions the choice of Pittsburgh over Denver. A Bears supporter reaches back to memories of the 1985 team; others connect the predicted finalists to the fan theory about Super Bowl logo colors, rather than anything the host establishes.

The bracket also has more views so far than the channel's separate "Picking EVERY Week 9 NFL game in under 30 seconds" Short. That one tackles the immediate schedule; this forecast goes all the way to handing Chicago the trophy.
