Packers' season comes down to rivalry game vs. Bears

More than bragging rights are on the line Sunday when the Green Bay Packers host the Chicago Bears.

 

Both teams enter the game playing some of their best football. The Packers have won two straight games, including an impressive 33-10 victory over the Minnesota Vikings on New Year's Eve. Jordan Love ended the game with 256 yards passing, three touchdowns through the air, and one on the ground. Aaron Jones didn't find the endzone, but he did register his second straight 100-yard game with 120 yards on 20 carries. The Packers are in the playoffs with a win but would require a combination of other teams' losses if they lose to their longtime foe.

 

The Bears have also won two straight and three of their last four after throttling the Atlanta Falcons 37-17 on the lakefront. Justin Fields is making it hard for his employers to decide whether to keep him or use their acquired No. 1 pick from the Carolina Panthers on a franchise quarterback. He threw for one touchdown and rushed for another in the victory. The Bears were officially eliminated from playoff contention last week when the Packers beat the Vikings, but they would love to return the favor to their Northern rivals. 

 

Kickoff is set for 3:25 p.m.
