The Green Bay Packers are into the middle of December and looking to win the NFC North and potentially find their way into the top seed in the NFC playoffs.

If they are going to do either of those things, they are certainly going to earn it. Sunday’s game is Denver is the second of five games in a row against teams fighting for playoff positioning.

The old proverb goes that the more things change, the more they stay the same.

At this point in the 211th meeting between the Packers and Bears, it looks like the rivalry is the embodiment of the proverb, as Green Bay took down Chicago in the midst of the best Bears season in many years.

Packers defensive back Keisean Nixon stopped the Bears from scoring and sealed up a 28-21 win with a late fourth-quarter interception in the 211th meeting between Green Bay and Chicago on Dec. 7 at Lambeau Field.

Green Bay will host Chicago on Sunday afternoon, with the NFC North title on the line.

Here’s how the teams match up:

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 last week. Jaylon Johnson and Kyler Gordon both returned from injuries, and that could make their defense better as a whole.
