Last meeting
In Week 5, the Bears beat Green Bay 27-20, handing the Packers their first loss of the season. Chicago forced five turnovers and QB Brian Griese threw two TD passes, including a 34-yarder to TE Desmond Clark in the fourth quarter to seal the victory.
Streaks
The Bears have won four of the past five games and also lead the overall series 88-79-6.
Last week
The Packers continued to roll, defeating the Rams 33-14 and clinching a first-round bye in the playoffs. Brett Favre became the NFL's all-time leader in passing yards, finishing with 227 yards and two touchdowns. The Bears were eliminated from the playoffs Monday night, falling to the Vikings, 20-13. Chicago held a 13-6 lead at halftime and forced four Minnesota turnovers, but the team failed to put any points on the board in the second half.
At stake
Green Bay finds itself locked in a battle with the Cowboys for home field advantage in the playoffs. Last year's NFC Champion Bears have played themselves out of contention this season, but look to halt a three game skid and sweep the season series with their division rival. Complete playoff picture.
Key matchup
Packers CB Al Harris vs. Bears KR/WR Devin Hester. The last time these teams played, Hester had only recorded one reception as an NFL receiver. But in the last two games the speedy superstar return man has caught nine passes for 95 yards. He'll likely run routes against the Pro Bowl veteran Harris, who is one of the best corners in the game and who has two interceptions on the year.
