Windy City Gridiron
Here’s all you need to know about the Bears vs. Packers game!
The Chicago Bears have one last game before the offseason gets underway, and they could add a small slice of goodwill to our fans with a win over the Green Bay Packers. They could also snap the lengthy 2024 losing streak, get their first win north of the border since 2015, ding the Packers on their way to wildcard weekend, and, most importantly, give the current roster a taste of victory against their Bears’ biggest rival.
And by current roster, I mean the entire 53-man roster because there isn’t one active player who has felt what it was like to beat the Packers while wearing the Navy and Orange.
If I dig even deeper, there is only one* player under contract (active, practice squad, IR) who left the field after a win over the Packers while wearing a Bears jersey.
