The Chicago Bears will face the Green Bay Packers in a Week 5 game, where there's more than a third straight win and division seeding on the line for Chicago on Sunday.
Bears great Mike Ditka passed away on Friday, and he's someone who helped make this Bears-Packers rivalry what it is today. That's made this a must-win game for Chicago, who's also looking to keep up with the Minnesota Vikings in the NFC North while also recording their third straight win over Green Bay since Ben Johnson took over as head coach. If the Bears are going to do it, they'll likely have to do it without starting quarterback Caleb Williams, who despite being "questionable" is expected to miss his third straight game as he recovers from a hamstring injury.
