The Chicago Bears defeated the Green Bay Packers by a score of 24-17 on Sunday afternoon, clinching the NFC North division title. Afterward, Bears rookie wide receiver Anthony Miller took to Twitter to offer up a rather bold proclamation:
We want a Super Bowl period

It has been a struggle for Miller in recent weeks. The first-year wide out has not caught a pass since the Bears' loss to the New York Giants back on Dec. 2, and in Sunday's win over the Packers, Miller wasn't even targeted.
However, prior to the past few games, Miller had been enjoying a nice rookie campaign, hauling in 30 receptions for 399 yards and six touchdowns.
His best game of the year came in a win over the Detroit Lions back on Nov. 11, when he racked up five catches for 122 yards and a score.
Regardless, Miller's recent issues won't stop him from desiring a Super Bowl, something that is appearing more and more possible for the Bears of late.

This marks the Bears' first playoff appearance since the 2010-11 campaign, when they won the NFC North but eventually fell to the Packers in the NFC Championship Game.
Chicago has not made a Super Bowl since the 2006-07 season. That year, it won 13 games, but met Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts in the big game and was defeated.
The Bears will spend their final two weeks of the regular season on the road, first heading to San Francisco to take on the 49ers next week before wrapping things up with the Minnesota Vikings on Dec. 30.
