Chicago Bears QB Caleb Williams takes shot at Green Bay Packers fans
Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams went into his rookie season making big promises about what he'd do for the franchise in his first season. While he largely fell short of expectations, he did beat the Green Bay Packers and he's now fueling the rivalry with a shot at the fan base. During an appearance at Fanatics Fest, Williams said that Packers fans 'suck' and pointed to what happened at Lambeau Field after the Bears beat Green Bay. 'Probably Green Bay. I mean, they suck. After the game, after we won at Lambeau — 1-0 at Lambeau — we tried to do the Lambeau Leap, tried to jump into the crowd where our fans were. [Packers fans] just started throwing everything at you, push you off. The Lambeau Leap, it's a real leap. It's not a little baby jump, you actually have to high jump, basically. And they're pushing you, pushing your face.'

Trailing 22-21 with 54 seconds left, Williams led Chicago on a six-play, 47-yard drive to set up Cairo Santos for the game-winning field goal as time expired. However, we're not quite sure what kind of reception Williams was expecting. The quarterback's mom wasn't in that section, so none of the fans were going to give him a hug. It's also worth noting that Packers fans are often cited as one of the friendliest among NFL fan bases.

If Chicago isn't in the playoff mix in Week 14, Packers fans might even respond with 'the Bears still suck' chants. Advertisement Related Headlines

Packers take another loss as Tush Push ban fails
The Chicago Bears halted an 11-game losing streak against the Green Bay Packers with a 24-22 win at Lambeau Field in the regular season finale on Jan. 5. And the losses just keep on coming for the Packers in 2025. The ban of the Tush Push, established by the Philadelphia Eagles, did not receive enough votes at Wednesday's league meeting in Minneapolis. That means the Tush Push lives on in 2025. Advertisement The Packers were the team to propose a ban on the Tush Push. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the final vote on the proposed ban of the Tush Push was 22-10. At least 24 votes were needed to ban it. The Eagles took to social media with the perfect trolling job with the Packers' failed attempt to ban the Tush Push. They wrote: "Push on," with a photo of Philadelphia running the Tush Push against Green Bay. This is the latest in a long string of losses for the Packers in 2025. Not only did they lose their regular season finale against the Bears, on a Cairo Santos game-winning field goal, and their wild-card playoff game to the Eagles, 22-10, but their attempt to ban the Tush Push (which was used in that wild-card loss) failed.

Chicago Bears-Green Bay Packers rivalry returns to prime time on the Saturday before Christmas
After a two-year hiatus, the Chicago Bears-Green Bay Packers rivalry is returning to prime time. Fox Sports announced Monday that the Bears will host the Packers at Soldier Field in Week 16 on Saturday, Dec. 20, as the NFL began a slow trickle of releasing marquee games in advance of Wednesday's release of the complete 2025 schedule. The game will be played at 3:30 or 6 p.m. The Bears completed the 2024 season with a 24-22 upset of the Packers on Jan. 5 at Lambeau Field as Cairo Santos nailed a 51-yard field goal on the final play. The victory ended a 10-game losing streak for the Bears and sent them into an offseason of considerable change. With new head coach Ben Johnson and his staff, a rebuilt offensive line and optimism for the development of quarterback Caleb Williams in his second season, the Bears are gaining interest in the NFC North, arguably the best division in the league last season. The Bears and Packers played in prime time once annually from 2006 through 2022, a span of 17 consecutive seasons, before playing only afternoon games in 2023 and 2024. The Packers have won the last seven meetings at night. The last time the Bears defeated the Packers in prime time at Soldier Field was a 20-17 victory on 'Monday Night Football' in Week 3 of 2010 as Robbie Gould connected on two short field goals in the final four minutes. Fox also announced it will air the Philadelphia Eagles at the Washington Commanders on Dec. 20. By playing on Saturday in Week 16, it's possible this increases the chances the Bears are selected to play in Week 17 on Christmas, which is Thursday, Dec. 25.
