Both of these teams have had lots of injuries this season. However, their backups have managed to keep both of these teams in the playoff race. Now, both teams have some of their starters back just in time for a win or go home game. One of those starters making his returns, quarterback and game changer, Aaron Rodgers.
After missing seven straight games with a broken collarbone, Rodgers has been cleared by the medical staff to return to the field. Also, Randall Cobb will be back for the final game of the season. Green Bay will be without linebacker Clay Matthews, however. The Bears, got their big players back last week, quarterback Jay Cutler and linebacker Lance Briggs, but had an embarrassing loss in Philadelphia. They can still win the NFC North with a win today, however.
These two teams have the talent to be in the playoffs, but neither could get into a hot streak and run away with this division. Chicago will have to establish pressure on Rodgers early. Whether he is rusty or not, he will be weary of taking his first hit since returning from injury. The Bears have a high powered offense and will need to put up more than the eleven points that they put up last week. For the NFC North title and a spot in the playoffs, Packers vs. Bears- who you takin?
