The Chicago Bears host the Green Bay Packers on Saturday night after playing two weeks ago. This is actually the third time these two franchises have played this calendar year, with each winning one game, so technically, this is the 2025 rubber match.
There’s a lot more than first place in the NFC North on the line when these two teams face off, as the Bears can alter a negative narrative that has existed around this team for decades with a win. Head coach Ben Johnson has already changed the trajectory of the franchise, but beating the Packers is a must, and would send reverberations through the league.
The current NFC playoff picture would pit these two teams against each other (2 vs. 7) in the Wildcard round of the postseason, adding another layer of intrigue to the game.
Kickoff is scheduled for Sunday at 7:20 p.m. CT, from Soldier Field in Chicago, Illinois. The weather will be partly cloudy, with a low of 2°F, and winds of about 15 to 25 mph.
Just like two weeks ago, the game will be on FOX, with their #1 crew of Kevin Burkhardt and Tom Brady on the call, but this time it’s the only game on, so you’ll get to see it no matter where you live.
ESPN Chicago (1000 AM, 100.3 FM HD2) with Jeff Joniak, Tom Thayer, and Jason McKie on the call, and LATINO MIX 93.5 FM (Spanish) with Omar Ramos.
The Bears game can also be heard on SiriusXM.
