Any time the Bears play the Green Bay Packers, it’s a big game. With the Bears blowing a 20-0 lead in the opener, then eventually losing 24-23, they want to make up for that poor finish and show the Packers that they are obviously the better team.

Another, even more important reason the Bears want this game is because a win clinches the the NFC North title and knocks the Packers out of playoff contention.
