The series history tips in favor of the Packers, leading 104-94-6, and they’ve secured victories in the past eight encounters. But let’s talk about the juicy details of this upcoming battle.
First and foremost, the Packers are experiencing a changing of the guard with QB Jordan Love stepping into some big shoes. He’s shown promise in his limited playing time, completing over 60% of his passes for 606 yards and three touchdowns. Can he carry the legacy of a certain QB who recently traded cheeseheads for the bright lights of New York?

Aaron Jones, the Packers’ dynamic RB, is a force to be reckoned with. Last season, he racked up over 1,500 scrimmage yards and ranked sixth among RBs with an impressive 59 receptions. Jones has been a thorn in the Bears’ side with six touchdowns in his last five matchups against them.
But the Bears are roaring back with QB Justin Fields, who made quite an impact in his rookie season, amassing over 2,200 passing yards, 17 touchdowns, and a jaw-dropping 1,143 rushing yards – the second-most by a QB in NFL history for a single season. Fields aims to continue his dominance and add a rush touchdown against the Packers to his resume.

On the ground, the Bears led the NFL in rushing yards in 2022, boasting over 3,000 yards as a team. D’Onta Foreman and Khalil Herbert will be looking to keep the ground game strong, with Herbert having fond memories of a productive game against the Packers in 2021.

The Packers’ defense, featuring stars like De’Vondre Campbell, Preston Smith, and Jaire Alexander, will aim to stifle the Bears’ offensive onslaught. Meanwhile, the Bears’ defense, led by Yannick Ngakoue, Tremaine Edmunds, and Jaquan Brisker, will be looking to make life difficult for Jordan Love.

This historic rivalry is filled with grit, determination, and a sprinkle of animosity. Will the Packers continue their dominance, or will the Bears, under the leadership of Justin Fields, finally strike back and set a new tone for the future? It’s a clash you won’t want to miss, and it’s bound to keep us on the edge of our seats!
