Following the loss of defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt, who had previously started for the Green Bay Packers in the under tackle position, the Packers signed two defensive tackles last week: Jordon Riley and Quinton Bohanna. Both Riley, poached from the New York Giants’ practice squad, and Bohanna, claimed on waivers via the Seattle Seahawks, are […]

To make room for the addition of receiver Jayden Reed from the injured reserve, the Green Bay Packers waived receiver Malik Heath, who had been with the team for three years, last week. The Packers likely wanted Heath to return to the team on the practice squad, considering his experience with the squad, but that […]

The Green Bay Packers are fortunate that, despite a great rushing performance from his team throughout the entire second half, Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson decided instead to put Sunday’s game in Caleb Williams’ hands on the critical fourth-and-one. Now, Green Bay has two weeks to make sure that doesn’t happen to them again […]

Very little of Keisean Nixon’s time in Green Bay has gone according to plan. When Nixon was signed in 2022, he wasn’t supposed to be the Packers’ top cornerback. He wasn’t supposed to be a regular contributor as a slot defender. He wasn’t even supposed to be a kick returner. He was supposed to be […]

Yes, the Green Bay Packers are 9-3-1, and yes, they just took the lead in the NFC North division with a big home win over the Chicago Bears. Yes, they currently hold the #2 seed in the NFC playoffs. Even with those caveats, it was still a bit surprising to see the Packers installed as […]

After their 28-21 win over the Chicago Bears on Sunday afternoon, Green Bay has now swept the other three teams in the NFC North over the last three weeks, dispatching the Vikings, Lions, and Bears in order. That stretch […]

In a game with mental errors, missed plays on the ball, and what could have been a second-half collapse by the defense, Green Bay Packers cornerback Keisean Nixon redeemed himself in the best way possible on Sunday night. The Chicago Bears were driving down the field looking to tie (or potentially win with a two-point […]

It was a back-and-forth affair, but the Green Bay Packers showed why they are the team to beat in the NFC North on Sunday afternoon. Green Bay defeated the Chicago Bears 28-21, getting a go-ahead touchdown from Josh Jacobs with under four minutes left and a game-sealing interception from Keisean Nixon in the end zone […]

The Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears are duking it out for the right to hold the top position in the NFC North. While the Detroit Lions still have a slim chance of impacting the NFC North race, this will probably come down to the Packers and Bears, who are going to play their first […]

I think the Green Bay Packers are better than the Chicago Bears in a vacuum. However, I can’t make myself fully optimistic about the Week 14 game because I keep coming back to the Carolina Panthers. The Panthers REALLY remind me of the Bears, especially on offense, and the Packers really struggled with the Panthers […]

On this fine Sunday afternoon, Green Bay Packers fans will need to wait a little longer to see their team play. The Packers’ big game against the Chicago Bears was flexed from a 12:00 noon Central Time start into the 3:25 PM window, giving it a much wider audience nationwide as the two teams battle […]

The Green Bay Packers had one more week before they had to make a decision to bring receiver Jayden Reed (shoulder/foot) up to the 53-man active roster, but the team elected to activate him from the injured reserve the day before they take on the Chicago Bears. On the injury report this week, Reed, who […]

The Green Bay Packers defense is averaging less than one takeaway per game this season (0.9, 24th in the NFL) through 13 weeks, down one full point from last year (1.8, 6th in the NFL), suggesting that the regression hit and it hit hard. However, they have had five takeaways in their last three games, […]

**Author’s note: Much of this was written in the preseason, but I waited to post these until later in the season for Chicago Bears week. We’ve learned a lot about the Bears since the end of summer, as they have surprised everyone to sit in the #1 seed at 9-3. New analysis is added below.** […]

The Green Bay Packers placed defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt on the injured reserve on Friday, which many (including myself) thought was a move to make room for the addition of receiver Jayden Reed from the injured reserve. General manager Brian Gutekunst seemed to have other plans, though, as the Packers actually used that roster spot […]

The Green Bay Packers announced on Friday that defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt has been placed on the injured reserve, where he’s expected to spend the remainder of the 2025 season. Wyatt has been the team’s starting under tackle this year, a role that Kenny Clark frequently played in 2024 with T.J. Slaton filling in as […]

The Green Bay Packers have officially dropped no game status for both defensive tackle Karl Brooks and linebacker Quay Walker. Brooks only played four snaps against the Minnesota Vikings two weeks ago and was inactive against the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving, but is now set to be the replacement starter in place of Devonte Wyatt.

If there’s any way that the Green Bay Packers can make a statement this Sunday against the Chicago Bears, it’s by stopping the run. The Bears made their case as a legitimate NFC contender on Black Friday, winning convincingly against the Philadelphia Eagles thanks to a combined 281 rushing yards and 6.0 yards per carry […]

There is no team with whom the Packers have a deeper, longer, and richer history than the Chicago Bears. The Packers have been playing the Bears for more than a century, and in that time there have been some truly outstanding performances. Here’s a look at a few of them, dating back to almost every […]
