Bears could catch major break in showdown against Packers
Ben Johnson and the Chicago Bears are currently the best team in the NFC and are leading the NFC North division race ever so slightly over the Green Bay Packers.
That is what makes this week’s showdown with the Packers at Lambeau Field extremely important. With a win, the Bears would stretch their lead over Green Bay and take a huge step in the right direction towards winning the division. A loss would see the Packers jump Chicago and re-take the lead in the NFC North.
Not only is it a big game from a standings perspective, the Bears have a huge opportunity. After beating the Philadelphia Eagles last week on the road, Chicago can make a huge statement with a road win in Green Bay. It can prove that it is a legitimate Super Bowl contender.
Of course, playing against the Packers is not an easy thing to do. Green Bay is 8-3-1 entering this week’s matchup and has an elite defense. Jordan Love has been playing at a high level so far this season and the Packers’ offense has been extremely dangerous.
However, the Bears may have caught a break heading into Sunday’s game.
As shared by Matt Schneidman, a reporter covering Green Bay for The Athletic, Green Bay safety Javon Bullard was downgraded on the team’s injury report on Thursday. He did not participate at all. Bullard has been a key part of the Packers’ defense this season.
Bullard has played in 12 games so far this season, racking up 59 total tackles to go along with a fumble recovery and two defended passes.
For a Chicago offense that has struggled with consistency at times, having a key piece of the Green Bay secondary miss the game would be a huge plus. The Packers already have had struggles in the defensive secondary. If Bullard is forced to miss the game, that could turn into a major weakness for Green Bay.
He hasn’t been ruled out just yet. Being downgraded to “did not participate” on a Thursday is usually not a good sign, but no official word has been given. More updates on Bullard’s status are sure to come in the very near future.
All of that being said, the Bears and Packers are scheduled to kick things off on Sunday afternoon at 4:25 p.m. ET. Fans will be able to watch the game on Fox.
