One view history is that all things run in cycles and what is up now will someday be down and down will be up. And over their joint NFL histories the Bears and Green Bay Packers have certainly had cycles when referring to one team’s dominance of the other, with the net that the difference between the two is one game (Bears 93 wins, Packers 92, plus six ties).
But cycles are sometimes funny, sometimes brutal, sometimes seemingly unbreakable. The Packers won 10 straight from 1994 to 1999; the Bears won eight straight from 1985 into 1989.
The Packers have won the last four games with the Bears, but 10 of the past 11.
