The Chicago Bears (9-3) will face off against the Green Bay Packers (8-3-1), where Chicago is looking to continue their hot streak in a massive NFC North showdown with first place on the line.
The Bears are coming off a statement win against the Philadelphia Eagles, where they dominated the trenches to the tune of 281 rushing yards and kept Philadelphia’s offense out of rhythm while forcing two turnovers on defense. Chicago has won nine of its last 10 games, including five straight.
Now, the Bears will face their most difficult challenge yet as they battle the Packers, which will determine the current leader of the NFC North and have serious playoff implications. Chicago was one blocked field goal away from sweeping Green Bay last season, and they’ll be looking to win their second straight over the Packers for the first time since 2007. Can Chicago once again record a statement win?
