Chicago Bears vs Green Bay Packers Week 5 Pregame Live Message Board
Good morning, Bears fans. Welcome to Packer Week. The Bears are 2-0 in the “Missing Caleb Williams” Era, and after collecting wins with both Case Keenum and Tyson Bagent in the last two weeks, the Bears’ overall quarterback room has rarely looked stronger. And as Williams nears a return, the Bears look to pick up […]
Bears vs. Packers: How to watch and listen, previews, odds, and more
The (3-1) Chicago Bears face the (2-2) Green Bay Packers in a critical NFC North matchup and also an important game in the series. The historical head-to-head pendulum drastically swung towards the Packers during the Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers eras, but the Bears have won three of the last four games, which is something […]
Chicago Bears activate Noah Sewell from the PUP list
I know what you’re thinking; that title doesn’t say Kyler Gordon! Of the three players on the Chicago Bears’ physically unable to perform list, Gordon’s return would be more impactful, but the Bears are giving him one more week to get his conditioning right, as they activated linebacker Noah Sewell off the PUP list today. […]
Chicago Bears @ Green Bay Packers: Week 5 Players to Watch
It’s Packer week. Ditka joins Sweetness and the other departed legends in Heaven, and Chicago looks to get its third straight win over the Packers, and its fourth in its last five.

Who would shock you as a Chicago Bears Trade Target?
We’ve been looking at rumors concerning the Chicago Bears and general manager Ryan Poles being looking to add to the roster before the trade deadline. After discussing who we do and do not want the team to target, now we’re considering whether or not the front office might have any surprises in store for fans. […]
Tyson Bagent to start for the Chicago Bears, unless he doesn’t
The only thing we should expect from Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson is to expect the unexpected. Last week against the New York Jets, all signs pointed to Tyson Bagent getting the first start since he was a rookie in 2023. There were even a couple of prominent NFL insiders who broke the news […]

1.) 1985, Bears @ Buccaneers: Walter Payton reaches 100 touchdowns October 6, 1985 | Bears win 27-19 The eventual Super Bowl champions entered Tampa Bay undefeated, but the winless Buccaneers weren’t particularly interested in rolling over.

Wild swings and championship rings: the complete history of the Bears-Packers rivalry
AUTHOR’S NOTE, Oct. 9, 2026: The original version of this story was published Sep. 28, 2017, before the first Bears-Packers game of that season. It has been updated to include all games through the 2025 season. (Please also note that because I have updated this every year since 2017, it’s possible there are references in […]
Bears-Packers Franchise Connections
It’s no secret that the Bears and Packers have one of the most heated rivalries in the NFL. When you have two blue-blood franchises that are located nearby and have been at each other’s throats since the 1920s, you’re naturally going to have plenty of hype when the two teams match up. Each week going […]
Chicago Bears-Green Bay Packers: Keys for a Chicago victory
The Chicago Bears are heading up north to face the Green Bay Packers. It feels like this game is the rivalry teetering on an edge, with the last 34 years of Packers dominance on one side and a slide back in Chicago’s favor on the other. At least, that seems to be how Chicago media […]
Bears vs. Packers Injury Report: Kyle Monangai Out, Caleb Williams Questionable
The Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers meet on Sunday, and the injury reports are in. Bears running back Kyle Monangai has been ruled out with a thumb and toe injury, and he’s in a walking boot for the turf toe. Head coach Ben Johnson said he’s week-to-week and that injured reserve isn’t an option […]
Who should the Chicago Bears avoid at the trade deadline?
The 3-1 Bears have been linked to the trade market, with fans and pundits speculating that they might make a move to solidify a defense that is showing what some might call a surprising ability to shut down offenses. However, not all moves are created equal. In our last installment, we asked what trade we […]
NFL predictions: Can the Bears keep it up against a beat up Packers team?
For years, the Chicago Bears have looked to regain consistent footing against the Green Bay Packers, simply trying to steal a game here or there to maintain credibility. This year is different. The Bears have won three out of the last four games against the Packers, including a dramatic 31-27 victory in January’s playoff matchup. […]
NFL Icon Mike Ditka passes away at 86
The Chicago Bears and the NFL lost a true legend of the sport today, as Mike Ditka passed away at 86. Born Michael Keller Dyczko Jr. on October 18, 1939, in Carnegie, Pennsylvania, his family changed their name to Ditka because Dyczko was too difficult for people to pronounce. He went on to become one […]
Chicago Bears Big Play Breakdowns from Week 4
What, exactly, did I get myself into? Recap all the explosive plays each week, that won’t be that big of a deal. The Bears are starting a backup quarterback, it’ll probably be a light week. Wrong. Eleven explosive plays as the Bears offense was on the field for about three quarters of the game. Insane […]
Bears at Packers Q&A: We asked ChatGPT since our sister site is running scared
It’s Packers week, and in a big rivalry game like this, you know we will want to do our traditional 5 questions with the SB Nation Green Bay Packers site (Acme Packing Company). Unfortunately, multiple emails to our contact over at Acme went unanswered. Were they simply too busy? Or were they scared? Now, if […]

Yes, it’s back like it never left! An open thread to discuss the Thursday Night Football game tailored specifically for our Windy City Gridiron members! The NFL Feed still has its own discussion post if you want to chop it up with fans of the other 31 teams, but if you only want to talk […]
Should the Chicago Bears Trade for a Defensive Player?
The Chicago Bears have opened the season with a shocking degree of balance. Instead of looking like a struggling defense being carried by an overpowered offense, Dennis Allen’s unit has held its own. Nonetheless, the Bears continue to be mentioned among teams that might make a move before the November 10th trade deadline—especially when it […]
Bears-Packers: Can Tyson Bagent keep the ball away from Xavier McKinney?
Never in my life have I thought of the Chicago Bears entering Lambeau Field as a trap game — but a lot of things in 2026 don’t quite make sense. So here we are, with the Bears on the road in Green Bay as favorites with their backup QB starting. A combination of sloppy play […]
Tyson Bagent Week 4 QB Grade: Jets @ Bears Film Breakdown
Well, Ben Johnson got us again. After spending the entire week refusing to publicly name his starting quarterback, Johnson decided to take things one step further Sunday afternoon. Case Keenum and Tyson Bagent both trotted onto the field for Chicago’s first offensive snap, with Bagent split out wide while Keenum took the snap, handed the […]
Week 5 game preview: Chicago Bears at Green Bay Packers
Shifting expectations are difficult. For years, I dreaded when the Chicago Bears would face the Green Bay Packers. Even in the years when Chicago was good, it still felt like an uphill climb to beat the team up north. In the down years, of which there have been far too many, I was resigned to […]
Bears’ Tyson Bagent looking to build on Jets’ performance against Packers
The Chicago Bears will head to Green Bay this week without their starting quarterback, as Tyson Bagent is set to start in place of Caleb Williams, who continues to work through a hamstring injury. Bagent stepped in for Williams last week against the New York Jets, leading the Bears to a 23-12 victory. He completed […]
