Today is the battle for 787. That’s the number of all-time wins the winner of this afternoon’s game between the Green Bay Packers (-4.5)
and Chicago Bears (+4.5) will have, breaking a tie for the most all-time in NFL history. It’s perhaps the most intriguing storyline in a game between two teams that have any notions of making the 2022 playoffs effectively eliminated.
It’s only fitting that these two teams have an opportunity to break the tie when playing one another. Perhaps that is part of the reason why Aaron Rodgers was so eager to come back for today’s game after suffering an injury to his ribs last Sunday night in Philadelphia.
