On Saturday January 10, the Green Bay Packers will take on the Chicago Bears in the first round of the NFL playoffs. The Packers and the Bears played twice in the regular season, with the Packers winning the first matchup, and the Bears winning the second.
Green Bay ended their season in a bit of a rough patch. They lost their star defensive end Micah Parsons to an ACL injury in Week 15 against the Denver Broncos. The following week, quarterback Jordan Love went down with a concussion in the second quarter against Chicago. The Packers lost their remaining 4 games, ending with a 9-7-1 record.
Chicago finally found a spark in their team this year. They finished the season with an 11-6 record, winning the NFC North, and clinching the 2 seed in the NFC playoffs. The team thrived on both offense and defense.Â
Both these teams are going to be out for blood this Saturday. The Packers-Bears rivalry is one of the most heated rivalries in sports, so we should be in for a good one.
