The Green Bay Packers will host the Chicago Bears on Thursday, November 26 in the third and final game for Thanksgiving Day 2015, at the Lambeau Field. It's the longtime NFC North contender between Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears.
The Chicago Bears who nearly won the game over the Denver Broncos last week and the Green Bay Packers were expected to perform another win again following last week's fight of the Minnesota Vikings. The game wasn't of any interest, as quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed less than 50 percent of his throws.
The 30-13 win over the Vikings last week saw the Packers end a three game slide, and allowed them to pull up level alongside the Vikings at the top of the division. Running back Eddie Lacy rebounded from getting benched a week ago to register his first 100-yard game of the season.
The Chicago Bears are facing the Green Bay Packers coming off a defeat in the hands of the Denver Broncos. Cutler managed to throw an interception as well as complete 18 of the 32 passes for 265 yards in the match that ended in a 17-15 loss.
Bears running back Matt Forte appears set to return after missing three games with a knee injury. Forte this week said he was able to cut and run at full speed at practice.
Conversely, Chicago's defense continued its recent trend of strong play. With Brock Osweiler assuming quarterback duties for Denver, the Bears yielded just 17 points, right in line with their 17.3 point average since the team's Week 7 bye.
Jay Cutler will be hoping for brighter days against the Packers today, after suffering 11 losses from his 12 games for the Bears against Green Bay.
A quick turnaround will not help two teams that had a combined 27 players on the injury report, including 16 for Green Bay.
