Winner takes the NFC North (for at least a week).
Tonight, Jordan Love’s 9-4-1 Green Bay Packers visit Caleb Williams 10-4 Chicago Bears at the Windy City’s Soldier Field.
The two NFC North foes currently sit atop the competitive division — Chicago has a slight one-game edge at the time of publication — and are looking to further secure their likely playoff chances.
Coming into the week 16 game, Bears head coach Ben Johnson was asked what message he had for his club ahead of this rematch with the Packers, who beat them 28-21 on Dec. 7 behind a commanding Jordan Love three-touchdown day.
“There doesn’t need to be much of a message,” Johnson said. “They know what is at stake.”
