Losing to a division rival, especially a rival to the magnitude of the Bears in a game that featured injuries to star players, feels devastating. Luckily for Green Bay, the season is far from over.

Chicago quarterback Caleb Williams connected with wide receiver D.J. Moore on a 46-yard touchdown in overtime as the Packers dropped their matchup with the Bears 22-16 on Dec. 20 in Chicago.

With the loss, the Packers sit firmly in the NFC’s seventh seed with a 77% chance to make the playoffs, while the Bears own a comfortable lead and have all but locked up the NFC North’s automatic qualifying seed for the playoffs.

Green Bay prepares to travel to Chicago for what will be the first of two Saturday night games in a row.

Packers’ offense vs. Bears’ defense

Chicago’s defense has struggled this season on a play-to-play basis, but they did get some reinforcements back this month.

The Green Bay Packers are walking wounded into Chicago as the Bears are coming off a game where they blew away the Cleveland Browns at home. Will that have an effect on Saturday’s showdown between the two teams? Who knows.

What we do know is that the two teams are fighting for position in the NFC playoffs, and the winner of this game should hold a big advantage in terms of winning the NFC North and securing a home playoff game.

After a litany of injuries suffered during the Packers’ game against Denver, Green Bay is in a position where it needs to rebuild its roster sooner than later, given the magnitude of the upcoming game.
