Latest news and updates about the Packers
The Atlanta Falcons are casting a predictably wide net with their head coaching interviews, and the latest sign that this part of the search may take a bit is that they’re requesting interviews with coaches they can’t actually interview just yet. Jeff Hafley is one such candidate. A longtime college coach who broke into the […]

The Arizona Cardinals’ list of candidates for their head coaching search just added one more name: Green Bay Packers DC Jeff Hafley. RELATED: WHERE DOES THE CARDINALS JOB RANK? According to ROTB’s Managing Editor Seth Cox, the Cardinals’ list is already pretty long as he put together a comprehensive list on Wednesday. That list: Yesterday, […]

The Seattle Seahawks may have a bye, but that doesn’t mean they’re free from all football activities until the week of the NFC Divisional Round. Seattle practiced on Wednesday and Thursday as it awaits one of the Green Bay Packers, San Francisco 49ers, Los Angeles Rams, over Carolina Panthers. The Seahawks aren’t required to produce […]

The Chicago Bears and the Green Bay Packers meet for the third time this season, having split the previous two, but the stakes are much bigger this time. Win or go home. Wild Card Saturday Night will be the third time these two franchises have met in the postseason, with the teams splitting the previous […]

As someone who has hand-charted the Green Bay Packers’ rotations on offense and defense this year, I want to go position-by-position through the Packers’ roster, detail how the depth chart stands (at least as of Week 18) and try to tell the story of the team that will be facing off against the Chicago Bears […]

I fully expect Ben Johnson to be deep in his bag this week. Days after the Bears put together a bland and unimagintive game plan in their regular-season finale against the Detroit Lions, Chicago’s football team received good news from the injury report with wide receivers Rome Odunze and DJ Moore (as well as starting left tackle Ozzy Trapilo) garnering full participation status with no game day designation for Saturday’s upcoming playoff game against the Green Bay Packers. So, the way I s...

A month ago, Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley said that he bets that defensive end Micah Parsons, who tore his ACL during the 2025 regular season, will break the NFL’s sack record in 2026. Hafley might not be around to see that plan through, though, as he’s been a hot name on the […]

The latest Bears Banter Podcast has dropped! It’s the third time in the history of the NFL’s longest-standing rivalry that the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers have met in the postseason.

The Green Bay Packers released their final injury report of the week ahead of Saturday’s Wild Card Round matchup against the Chicago Bears, and while Green Bay avoided any surprise outs, there’s enough uncertainty to matter. Up front, the biggest name to watch is right tackle Zach Tom (back/knee). Tom was limited early in the week before being held out of Thursday’s practice and is officially questionable. That’s notable against a Bears front that has leaned more aggressively on pressure ...

The Green Bay Packers have officially announced that the following players will be questionable going into this weekend’s playoff action against the Chicago Bears: quarterback Malik Willis (shoulder/hamstring), receiver Dontayvion Wicks (concussion), right tackle Zach Tom (back/knee), defensive tackle Warren Brinson (foot), linebacker Nick Niemann (pectoral) and safety Javon Bullard (knee). Earlier this week, LaFleur […]

After a four-game losing streak to end the regular season, the Green Bay Packers now have their sights on the playoffs, starting with a Wild Card matchup against their bitter rivals, the Chicago Bears. This rivalry is back to an elite level after, frankly, several decades of dominance by one side or the other, and […]

This week’s Chicago Bears–Green Bay Packers playoff matchup doesn’t need manufactured stakes. For Bears fans, the meaning is baked into the history — and the rarity. The two franchises have met in the postseason only twice. The most recent was the 2011 NFC Championship Game at Soldier Field, a January afternoon that still lingers painfully in Chicago’s memory. Green Bay raced to an early lead, the Bears’ defense clawed them back into it, but the offense never fully recovered after Jay Cut...

The Chicago Bears have released their final injury report of the week, leading up to their wild card matchup against the Green Bay Packers. In it, they listed defensive back C.J. Gadner-Johnson out with a concussion, an injury that he suffered last week in the regular season finale. Gardner-Johnson has been starting in the slot […]

The final Bears injury report of this week revealed a whole lot of good news for Chicago’s football team. And it begins with an update regarding wide receiver Rome Odunze, who is off the injury report. Odunze was listed as as full participant in Thursday’s practice and has no designation for Saturday’s playoff game against the Green Bay Packers. In other words, quarterback Caleb Williams’ top target will be ready to rock and roll at Soldier Field. CHECK OUT EPISODE NO. 16 OF THE BN BEARS ...

The Chicago Bears will host the Green Bay Packers on Saturday at Soldier Field in the Wild Card Round. The game is viewed by many — including Prime Video’s bank account — as the game of the week in the NFL’s opening round. Still, one former NFL (backup) quarterback—whose claim to fame is running out of the back of his own end zone — thinks this one won’t live up to the hype, despite their previous two meetings this season coming down to the final play of the game. “I think the Packer...

All year, I’ve had fun tracking what I call the “Hafley Cam” during games. You know it. It’s the shot of Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley up in the crow’s nest during a big defensive moment. On my podcast, I placed a few silly prop bets related to the Hafley Cam. Do we see him […]

Even if I did attend with a Packers fan, I must admit that I truly enjoyed attending a live session of The Athletic Football Show podcast on Wednesday at Lincoln Hall in Chicago. The Bears conversation was fun and enjoyable. Listening to the pod live (and being in attendance) gave me an extra boost going into this week. That show just added a new subscriber. This city is so Bears-crazy right now that it is bleeding into hockey: we aren't. 🐻⬇️ @ChicagoBears https://t.co/tKF0nb7IV3...

When I took over writing the game previews several years ago from Steven Schweickert, I changed his naming convention. This was mostly due to changing SEO standards and boring ol’ search stuff that the powers at be are rightly concerned with. But the old preview naming convention works so well for this week. When it […]

With Saturday’s Wild Card game being the third meeting between the Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Bears over the span of 6 weeks, I have a pretty good feel for who these teams are and what we’re going to see them do this weekend. Sure, there will be wrinkles and variations and changeups and […]

While the campaign to get Daniel Whelan named as the First-Team All-Pro punter for the 2025 season is in full swing, let’s take a moment to appreciate how impressive a campaign the Green Bay Packers’ third-year punter put up this year. Whelan’s rankings in the context of the NFL are tremendous and he absolutely deserves […]
