Bears vs Packers Week13: 6 things to know for Chicago Bears-Green Bay
On Sunday, the Chicago Bears (3-9) will take on the Green Bay Packers (4-8) in an effort to snap their five-game losing run. Even against a struggling Packers squad, it won’t be simple.
Bears vs Packers
Justin Fields, the quarterback for Chicago, missed the previous game against the New York Jets (31-0) due to a separated left shoulder.
The second half saw the Bears offence kept scoreless, and Mike White was made to look like a Pro Bowl quarterback by an injury-ravaged defence. Now that both teams are seeking victories, Chicago will take against a faltering Green Bay squad.
With a 104-95-6 record against Chicago, Green Bay dominates the series overall. The last seven matchups have been won by the Packers, who have dominated recent times. When these two teams last faced off, it was in Week 2 at Lambeau Field, where Green Bay triumphed 27-10.
The Packers average 19.6 points per game, compared to the Bears’ 20.9 (19th in NFL) (23rd). Chicago leads the league in running offence with an average of 192 yards per game. Green Bay is 14th in the nation with an average of 121.3 running yards per game.
The Bears have the worst passing offence in the league with an average of 131.2 passing yards per week, while the Packers are averaging 223.4 passing yards per game (14th).
Green Bay allows 23.6 points per game, while Chicago allows 25.4 (27th) (22nd). Each game, the Bears surrender 206.1 passing yards (12th). The Packers, however, are allowing 187.8 yards in the air (4th). The run defence for Chicago has been weak, allowing 143.9 yards on the ground (27th). The rushing yards allowed by Green Bay’s defence are 154.8 per game (31st).
Many supporters would prefer that Justin Fields be sidelined for the remainder of the season by the Bears while he recovers from a separated shoulder. Particularly in light of the injuries sustained in Week 12. With Darnell Mooney on the injured reserve and Riley Reiff and Larry Borom out for the offensive line, there are concerns at receiver and on the line of scrimmage.
Fields’ participation in Wednesday’s practise was restricted, and it’s likely that the Packers will decide whether or not to start him. Fields described how he can return to the field, where he will need to feel confident in his ability to lead the offence and throw the ball (especially while running). He made it plain that he would play if he could.
We all recall Aaron Rodgers‘s “I own you” yell to the Soldier Field crowd the last time he visited Chicago. The fact that Rodgers has dominated the Bears with a 23-5 record is undeniable, but it feels as though the Rodgers era may be coming to an end. With the Packers, Rodgers has had a difficult year, struggling both on the field and with injuries.
But since Rodgers’ future is up in the air, this might be the final game against him. Rodgers’ deal does make it impossible to fire him; his dead cap hit in 2023 is $99.8 million. However, Green Bay might try to offload Rodgers while keeping Jordan Love, a three-year starter.
Since 2012, the Packers have won 18 of the 21 games in this rivalry, completely dominating the competition. However, in 2022, it appears as though the Bears are beginning to gain an advantage in the rivalry. Although both Green Bay (4-8) and Chicago (3-9) had terrible records, the Bears were expected to be terrible.

The Packers were anticipated to be a force. Aaron Rodgers, the second quarterback from Green Bay to be inducted into the Hall of Fame after Brett Favre, believes he is nearing the end of his career. Now, it seems possible that Chicago will start the 2023 season with Justin Fields as the greatest quarterback in the division.
The Bears are betting underdogs for the 10th time this season. Chicago is a 4.5-point home underdog against the Packers, per Tipico Sportsbook. The over/under for the game is set at 43.5.
