About this Article

The Bears and Packers have been streaking in opposite directions recently for a lot of different reasons. And the Bears have lost five straight meetings with their neighbors to the north. If they don't turn things around today, they'll allow the Packers to clinch the NFC North. "We haven't held up our end of the deal," Bears coach Lovie Smith said. "You've got to win some football games to really get that done. We know what's at stake this week."
