Green Bay Packers Head To Chicago For NFC Wild Card Playoff

GREEN BAY, WI — The Green Bay Packers are headed back to Chicago for a high-stakes rematch with their oldest rival.

The No. 7-seeded Packers will travel to Soldier Field to face the Chicago Bears in the NFC Wild Card playoff round after Chicago secured the No. 2 seed in the conference.

The playoff game will be played at Soldier Field during the NFL’s Wild Card weekend, scheduled for Saturday, Jan. 10 at 7 p.m. on Prime Video.

The longtime rivals split their two regular-season games.

Green Bay won the first matchup in Week 14 at Lambeau Field, defeating Chicago 28-21. The Bears responded two weeks later with a 22-16 overtime win at Soldier Field in Week 16.

The postseason meeting adds another chapter to the NFL’s oldest rivalry, which dates back more than a century. The Packers and Bears have faced each other twice previously in the playoffs.

Most recently, Green Bay defeated Chicago 21-14 in the 2010 NFC Championship Game at Soldier Field, a win that sent the Packers to Super Bowl XLV.

The only other postseason meeting came in 1941, when the Bears beat the Packers 33-14 in a Western Division playoff game played at Wrigley Field.

Chicago earned home-field advantage for the Wild Card round by finishing as the NFC’s No. 2 seed. The winner this weekend will advance to the NFC Divisional Round.
