It appears there’s only one way the Chicago Bears can beat the Green Bay Packers on Thursday Night Football (8:25 p.m. ET, CBS/NFLN), and that would be for the Bears to run the ball down the Packers’ throats. Green Bay enters tonight’s contest allowing 113.7 rushing yards per game, ranking 27th in the league in rush defense. Meanwhile, the Chicago backfield is carrying the offense with the eighth-best rushing attack and third-best yards per carry mark at five yards per. Continue to Article

Aaron Rodgers has been, on the whole, outstanding agianst the Bears since the beginning of the John Fox/Vic Fangio era in 2015. While the Packers lost that memorable Thanksgiving night game to the Bears at Lambeau Field in 2015, Rodgers’ numbers have been outstanding: 98/153 (64.1 completion percentage), 969 yards, seven touchdowns, one interception and a rating of 94.4. “There’s not really much he can’t do as a quarterback on the football field,” safety Adrian Amos, who will likely start in place of an injured Quintin Demps this week, said. “He can run, he can throw, he can throw on the run. He has many years of doing it, he has experience with the receivers and that brings a lot of challenges. Continue to Article

A week after the Rams and 49ers shocked Thursday night viewers by combining for 80 points, Week 4 brings a Thursday Night Football matchup that is actually pretty good on paper...which of course means the game is likely to be boring. The Packers needed overtime to beat the lowly Bengals in Week 3, but Aaron Rodgers and company have been one of the most exciting teams this season, and at 2-1 are tied with the Lions and Vikings atop the NFC Central. A game behind them at 1-2 are the Bears, a team many predicted would be one of the worst in the league. Continue to Article

A week after the Rams and 49ers shocked Thursday night viewers by combining for 80 points, Week 4 brings a Thursday Night Football matchup that is actually pretty good on paper...which of course means the game is likely to be boring. The Packers needed overtime to beat the lowly Bengals in Week 3, but Aaron Rodgers and company have been one of the most exciting teams this season, and at 2-1 are tied with the Lions and Vikings atop the NFC Central. A game behind them at 1-2 are the Bears, a team many predicted would be one of the worst in the league. This hasn't been the case. Though the Buccaneers blew them out in Week 2, they nearly beat the Falcons, who appear to be the class of the NFC, in Continue to Article

The Chicago Bears have had a feisty 2017. After falling five yards short of upsetting the Falcons in Week 1, they finally got a breakthrough win by upsetting the visiting Steelers last Sunday. They’ll try to keep that momentum rolling when they take on the division rival Green Bay Packers on Thursday Night Football, starting at 8:30 p.m. ET and broadcast live on NFL Network/NBC in local markets (live stream). Chicago overcame a phantom penalty and one of the weirdest plays of 2017 to fend off Pittsburgh in overtime, relying on the one-two punch of Jordan Howard and Tarik Cohen at tailback. That duo rushed for 216 yards to gash a rising Steelers defense, and their presence will put plenty of pressure Continue to Article
