The Packers will look to make a statement victory on the road against the Bears.
Veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers is coming off a strong performance during the Packers’ 25-22 victory against the Bengals. Although he threw an interception and was sacked twice, Rodgers completed 27 passes for 344 yards and threw two touchdown passes.
Green Bay’s offensive line will be challenged by the Bears’ defense, who leads the league with 18 sacks through five games. Linebacker Roquan Smith leads with 50 tackles and totals two sacks and an interception.
Justin Fields is expected to make the start for the Bears against their NFC North rivals. Although Chicago will play without running back Damien Williams, who was placed on the COVID-19 list after testing positive, the Bears will rely on David Montgomery. During the Bears’ 20-9 victory against the Raiders last week, Montgomery totaled 309 rushing yards and three touchdowns.
