Packers vs. Bears live score, updates, highlights from NFL ‘Sunday Night Football’ game

By | December 12, 2021

The Bears and Packers, one of the most storied rivalries in NFL history, will meet for the 204th time on Sunday night.

This is the second time the two NFC North teams will play this year. The Packers won their first matchup 24-14 back in October, and this is where the now famous “I still own you!” quote came from Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

Bears quarterback Justin Fields will return after his rib injury that happened in Week 11. Rodgers hasn’t been participating in practice much the last couple weeks due to a toe injury, but he is also good to go for Sunday night.

The Packers open as heavy 12.5-point favorites, according to DraftKings Sportsbook. It helps that Green Bay is the second seed in the NFL and the NFC with their 9-3 record. The Bears don’t really have a chance of making the playoffs with their 4-8 record.
