Following an embarrassing 51-23 loss to the New England Patriots in Week 8, the Chicago Bears are hoping to find new life in Week 10 against the Green Bay Packers coming off their Week 9 bye.
Sunday night will mark the 190th meeting between the two teams, with Chicago holding a 93-90-6 edge in the all-time series. The Packers have won seven of the last 10 meetings between them, however.
The Bears fell to the Packers in Week 4 by a score of 38-17. Chicago ran for 235 yards on the ground on 41 carries, but it wasn’t enough to slow down Aaron Rodgers and his 302 passing yards and four touchdowns.
In order for the Bears to slow down Rodgers on Sunday Night Football, they are going to need to put pressure on him all game long.
“You’ve got do the best you can to get there,” defensive end Willie Young said about getting pressure on Rodgers, via ChicagoFootball.com’s Jeff Arnold. “It has not changed one bit. He’s doing the things he does on Sundays consistently day in and day out, so it’s a challenge. It’s competition.”
Even though Rodgers has been sacked 20 times already this season, he has shown an incredible ability to still put up impressive numbers. In eight games he has thrown for 2,092 yards with 19 touchdowns and just three interceptions.
The Detroit Lions sit atop the NFC North standings with a 6-2 record, while the Green Bay Packers are not far behind with a record of 5-3. After the Minnesota Vikings were able to come away with a victory last week over the Washington Redskins and improve their record to 4-5, the Bears currently sit in last place in the division.
A win over the Packers will not make Chicago a favorite to make the playoffs, but it could help give new life to a team that plays five of its last seven games at home.
Here is our Chicago Bears vs. Green Bay Packers preview for Week 10.
