Today at 4:25 p.m. ET, the Green Bay Packers (7-7-1) and Chicago Bears (8-7) go head-to-head live from Soldier Field in Chicago. The game can be live streamed here. Green Bay fans can hear all of the action on 620 WTMJ while Chicago fans can do the same on WBBM 780.
The Packers and Bears take the field with the NFC North Division title up for grabs at Soldier Field.
Aaron Rodgers returns to the Packers for the first time in seven weeks and will be under center as Green Bay looks to win its third consecutive division crown.
Rodgers is 168-for-251 for 2,218 yards with 15 touchdowns and four interceptions thus far this season. The Packers fell 38-31 to the Pittsburgh Steelers last week without Rodgers, but the Bears failed to clinch the division with a 54-11 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
Green Bay will be glad to have its best offensive weapon back after a broken collarbone sidelined him for the last seven games.
"We're talking about the best player in football. I feel good about it," Packers coach Mike McCarthy told ESPN of Rodgers return.
Rodgers will have Randall Cobb back after he's been sidelined since Oct. 13 due to a fractured right fibula. Clay Matthews (thumb) will not be able to play after having surgery this past week.
Jay Cutler will look to lead the Bears to their first division title since 2010 and is 209-for-331 for 2,395 yards this season with 17 touchdowns and 11 interceptions.
First-year coach Mark Trestman knows his team needs to put the blowout loss to Philadelphia behind it.
"I've got to be the voice of reason," Trestman said per ESPN. "I've got to see the big picture. Every coach handles themselves differently in these situations, and there's no right way to do it for coaches because they all handle them differently. This is the way we've done it, trying to maintain some practicality works in this case."
Cutler will look to connect with Brandon Marshall (94 receptions, 1,221 yards 11 touchdowns) and Alshon Jeffery (86 receptions, 1,341 yards seven touchdowns).
The NFC North title is on the line when the Packers and Bears go head-to-head this afternoon.
