The Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers are set to square off at Lambeau Field Sunday, and they’ll make history in their incredible rivalry.
The two teams are not only getting ready to play their 211th regular season game against one another, the most any two teams have played against each other in the NFL, but they are doing so under remarkable circumstances.
The Bears come into the game with a 9-3 record on the season, having won nine of their last 10 games to jump to the top of the NFC standings. The Packers are right on their tails, with an 8-3-1 record on the regular season.
Sunday’s game will obviously mark a critical point in the NFC North standings, as the winning team will jump into the lead of the division, but it will also represent a remarkable milestone for the two clubs.
According to NFL Network, the Packers and Bears have never met this late in an NFL season with both teams being five games or better about the .500 mark.
The Packers recently had their 11-game winning streak against the Bears snapped, but still lead the all-time series between the teams with a 108-96-6 record against Chicago.
The Packers and Bears have split their two postseason meetings, with the Packers winning the most recent playoff contest as they triumphed in the 2011 NFC Championship Game.
The latest entry into the rivalry will begin at 3:25 p.m. on Fox.
