The New England Patriots will not enter the NFL playoffs until Sunday night, but they already played a role on Saturday as well — at least indirectly. As Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson said after his team’s come-from-behind win over the Green Bay Packers, the Patriots served as inspiration. “The one thing that we […]
THE DAILY SPONGIE SPECIAL Ken’s Note: I made this song a couple of years ago. It is entirely done in AI, but still, it’s my ode to how Green Bay’s season ends every single year. BEARSSSSSS Bears rally again in fourth quarter to beat Packers The Ice Man cometh again. T.J. Edwards to miss rest […]
Last month, when the Chicago Bears beat the Green Bay Packers on a Caleb Williams to DJ Moore walk-off 46-yard touchdown pass in overtime, the Packers and their fans were ticked off at DJ’s headgear in the postgame celebration. Moore was again at the center of an improbable comeback, this time with his 25-yard go-ahead […]
During the Chicago Bears’ 31- 27 win over the Green Bay Packers, they lost a couple of starters to injury. Linebacker T.J. Edwards had to be carted off the field in the final minute of the half, and left tackle Ozzy Trapillo hopped to the sideline in the waning moments of the fourth quarter. Ozzy […]
The Chicago Bears just authored the greatest comeback in the franchise’s history — and they took down the Green Bay Packers in the process. Can you believe it?
FINAL: Chicago Bears 31, Green Bay Packers 27 ( ESPN BOX SCORE )
In case you missed it, this was the game-winning touchdown pass from Caleb Williams to DJ Moore…
I just … wow. pic.twitter.com/OKExQCha2t — Bleacher Nation Bears (@BN_Bears) January 11, 2026

Chicago erases ...
I’m pretty much non-verbal after watching the Green Bay Packers choke away a second straight game to the Chicago Bears (and they tried to do it three times). Here’s a quick rundown of the team’s snap counts. If I have something to say about it, it’s noted. No full breakdowns this week. Quarterbacks Running Backs […]
When I found out that all three Chicago teams were playing tonight, I figured at least two would win — but I never would’ve guessed all three and the Bulls would be one of them. In surprisingly dominant fashion, the Bulls joined the Bears in victory even before their game even ended, making Chicago native and Packers fan Anthony Davis sit there and watch both his team get demolished by Chicago.

What. A. Win.
I’m out of words for that one. But, thankfully, Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson delivered with his “Good, Better, Best” speech after the game.
Vibes are at an all-time high for Chicago Bears players, fans, and their head coach:
Victory vibes are real high in the @ChicagoBears locker room 🔥 pic.twitter.com/lou2wAB4qY — NFL on Prime Video (@NFLonPrime) January 11, 2026
This is the stuff you dream of as a fan. Not only did you just witness the greatest come-fr...
If you watched this entire game, than you are a glutton for punishment. On a night with plenty of other games to watch (Packers vs. Bears playoff game and Utah vs BYU college basketball), the Utah Jazz were playing the lowly Charlotte Hornets. Both teams have similar records and both teams have a number of […]
What? How? In what world?
Much like the last game between these two, the grades needed to be rewritten after the game went final! This game was the Cardiac Bears on steroids. Somehow, some way, the Bears figured out a way to beat the Packers again. The Bears were clutch, the Packers choked, and we’re moving on to the Divisional Round! BEAR DOWN!

Given the results of Saturday’s two NFL playoff games, we now know that the Philadelphia Eagles will be traveling to Chicago to take on the Bears in the Divisional Round. That is, if the Eagles are first able to beat the San Francisco 49ers in Sunday’s Wild Card game at Lincoln Financial Field. It looked […]
The Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears met for the third time in the postseason since 1941. It did not end the way the Packers had hoped as Green Bay fell to Chicago 31-27 in the NFL Wild Card round in Chicago, a game where the Packers dominated most of the first half, but will […]
The Seattle Seahawks will have to play another game against an NFC West rival; they just don’t know which one yet. On a dramatic opening day of the 2026 NFL Playoffs, the Los Angeles Rams rallied late to avoid an upset loss to the Carolina Panthers, while the Chicago Bears pulled off another absurd comeback […]
The Green Bay Packers jumped out to an early lead over the Chicago Bears in the Wild Card round but it wasn’t meant to be. The Bears roared back to win the game and move on to the Divisional Round, sending Green Bay home for the offseason. The Packers showed up in the first half, […]
The Los Angeles Rams survived an upset attempt by the Carolina Panthers to advance to the Divisional Round of the 2026 NFL playoffs. Now it’s time to see the matchup between the No. 2 Chicago Bears and the No. 7 seed Green Bay Packers. Assuming the Philadelphia Eagles beat the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday […]
The Green Bay Packers were the team everybody thought would win the Super Bowl to begin the season after a couple of games with Micah Parsons. That feels like an eternity ago. The Packers have since lost Parsons. They even lost their quarterback, Jordan Love, in their last game against the Chicago Bears. Love lost […]
The Chicago Bears host the Green Bay Packers in the second of two Wild Card playoff games today. These two NFC North arch-rivals have the longest-standing rivalry in the NFL and the next chapter continues here. These teams split the season series, including a Game of the Year contender in Week 16, but this rubber […]
The Seattle Seahawks could know their Divisional Round opponent solely from this game. If the Green Bay Packers defeat the Chicago Bears on a snowy night in the Windy City, then they’ll be heading to Lumen Field next week. A Bears win would mean we’d need to wait on the Philadelphia Eagles vs. San Francisco […]
Saturday’s Wild Card Round of the NFL Playoffs continues tonight at 8:15 PM ET as the Green Bay Packers take on the Chicago Bears in an NFC North battle. The game will air on Amazon Prime, with the action being called by Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit. This was the first time since the 2018 […]
EPISODE CXIII: CHICAGO BEARS VS. GREEN BAY PACKERS (PLAYOFF EDITION) — For as much as we discuss “big games” throughout a 17-game schedule, they don’t get much bigger than what we are about to witness between Chicago and Green Bay. The 213th installment of the NFL’s longest active rivalry is the third game between the bitter adversaries since the start of December. Plus, it is also the third playoff game between the teams. For all intents and purposes, this is the ultimate rubber match.

“Jahdae F****** Walker!” I shouted as the Bears tied the Packers. “AHHHHHHHHH!” I bellowed not much later when D.J. Moore corralled the walkoff touchdown. On both plays, Caleb Williams delivered a pass unlike most I’ve seen from a Bears quarterback. I was hoarse for two days. I know we’ve heard the whole “new era” claim […]
It’s time. Green Bay Packers vs. Chicago Bears, Round III is about to start, and with it the right to advance to the NFC Divisional Playoffs. These two teams know each other all too well, having split their two regular season meetings late in the season, and it should be a great game this evening […]
The Green Bay Packers only have two tight ends on the gameday roster for their playoff matchup against the Chicago Bears. This means that backup offensive lineman Darian Kinnard will be expected to play some reps at tight end tonight, which he’s done since the Tucker Kraft injury. On top of that, though, he will […]
The 2025-26 NFL playoffs kick off on Saturday with the second game of the day featuring the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears. For some Detroit Lions, it may be too hard to watch, as the Lions failed to meet expectations and won’t be in the postseason. But if you’re already in offseason mode, I’ve […]
It’s not like we haven’t been here before. The Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers have played a lot of big games in the 104 years of their rivalry. They’ve played 18 primetime games in the last 20 years. They’ve faced each other with the playoffs on the line. They’ve even battled for the right […]
