Windy City Gridiron
The last time the Chicago Bears played the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field, Bears kicker Cairo Santos nailed a 51-yard field goal as time expired to give them a 24 to 22 win.
The next time will be on Sunday, December 7, at 3:25 p.m. (CT), following today’s announcement that the game has been flexed from its original noon kickoff time. FOX will get the NFL’s oldest rivalry in front of a larger audience, while the Cincinnati Bengals-Buffalo Bills game has been moved back to noon.
Both teams are in the playoff hunt, with Chicago (7-3) currently leading the NFC North and sitting at the third seed in the NFC. The Packers (6-3-1) are in the sixth seed, while the Detroit Lions (6-4) and Minnesota Vikings (4-6) follow behind in the hunt.
The Bears and Packers will play Week 16 in Chicago on December 20, with the time to be determined.
