The Chicago Bears, currently the three seed in the NFC, and the Pittsburgh Steelers, the fourth-seeded AFC team, meet up in a battle of division leaders today, but this one won’t feel like an interconference game to the Soldier Field faithful.
Former Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers will be on the sideline with a wrist injury for Pittsburgh, so that’ll take some of the vitriol away from Bears fans, but they’ll still let him have it every time he’s shown on the video board.
The last time Rodgers walked
away from a Bears game with an L was in 2018, which was also the last time the Bears won the NFC North. The last time the Steelers won the AFC North was in 2020.
Beating Rodgers would have been a sweet ending for that chapter, but regardless, the Bears need to keep the good vibes rolling with the Dub.
It would be fitting close to the Rodgers chapter if they could send him home with a loss while picking up their eighth win.
