As has been the case for each of the last 14 seasons for Green Bay, the Packers bowed out of the playoffs much earlier than anyone around the organization would have hoped.

After being up 21-6, Green Bay suffered a monumental collapse in the second half of its Wild Card matchup with the Chicago Bears, ultimately resulting in a 31-27 loss and ending the Packers’ season.

The Packers’ 2025-26 season came to an end Saturday as the Packers lost to the Chicago Bears 31-27 in the Wildcard Round of the NFL playoffs at Soldier Field.

Ten finalists have been named in the search for the 28th member of the Packers FAN Hall of Fame, and voting has begun for fans to make the selection.

Among those finalists is Lorraine Mueller, of Wittenberg.

Green Bay travels to Chicago to face the Bears in the first round of the NFL playoffs. The game will be played at 7 p.m. Saturday.

Packers’ offense vs. Bears’ defense

The last time these two teams met also happens to be the last time the Packers’ full starting offense played. Jordan Love left in the first half with a concussion and has not been on the field since.

Just like that, the slate is wiped clean. The Green Bay Packers finished the regular season at 9-7-1, but they will tell you that everyone is 0-0 as of now.

The reward for finishing second in the NFC North is a date with their oldest rival — the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field.
