Two weeks after their first matchup of the season, the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears will meet again on Saturday night with the NFC North title on the line.
If the Detroit Lions lose on Sunday, the winner of this game would clinch a playoff spot, while also taking control of the division heading into Week 17.
Green Bay took the first matchup 28-21 at Lambeau Field, but Chicago has responded well, reclaiming first place in the NFC North after a dominant 31-3 win over the Cleveland Browns. The Packers, meanwhile, slipped to the NFC’s seventh seed following a 34-26 loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 15.
•
Chicago, now 10-4 and with its first double-digit win season since 2018, must overcome its recent struggles against Green Bay to keep control of the NFC North.
