The Quarterbacks
Packers: Since 1992, the Packers have started three quarterbacks against the Bears: Favre, Aaron Rodgers and Brett Hundley. Rodgers has abused Chicago over the years. He boasts a 20-5 record with 55 touchdowns, 10 interceptions and a 107.2 passer rating. Over the last 10 starts, he’s thrown 20 touchdowns against just one interception. One of those five career losses came in 2013, when he suffered a broken collarbone on the opening drive. Last year, Rodgers threw for four touchdowns and zero interceptions in a 41-25 win at Lambeau Field and four touchdowns and zero interceptions in the win at Soldier Field.
Bears: With rookie first-round pick Justin Fields having unseated Andy Dalton, this will be the 20th Chicago quarterback to start against Green Bay since 1992. Fields threw for 111 yards and his first career touchdown in last week’s 20-9 upset win at Las Vegas. In three career starts, he has thrown for 388 yards.
Four-Point Stance
One: This isn’t to say that Justin Fields, Chicago’s rookie first-round pick, won’t become a great quarterback. It’s only pointing out the path of Sunday’s starting quarterbacks. In his three starts, the 22-year-old Fields has completed 29 passes for 388 yards. Rodgers has completed 30-plus passes in two games against Chicago and has 10 games overall of more than 388 yards.
“The talent just pops off the screen that the kid has,” defensive coordinator Joe Barry said. “He has unbelievable arm strength. He has the athleticism and the mobility and speed.”
Two: Much has been made of Green Bay’s red-zone problems on offense. Fixing those problems won’t be easy against the Bears, who are third in red-zone defense. Over the last three games, Chicago has allowed just three touchdowns out of 11 red-zone possessions.
Three: Last week, Matt LaFleur won his 30th regular-season game. It took him just 37 games to reach that mark, tied with the legendary Paul Brown for third-fastest in NFL history behind Guy Chamberlin (35) and George Seifert (36). Chamberlin’s Pro Football Hall of Fame playing career included two years with the Staleys – the forerunners of the Bears.
Four: This is straight from the Bears’ pregame release: “Matt Nagy is 12-7 against the NFC North in his head coaching career, including an 11-2 mark against the Lions (6-1) and Vikings (5-1).” Not included? His 1-5 mark against Green Bay, including 0-4 vs. LaFleur.
