The Packers finally reclaimed the long fought series over the Chicago Bears since 1932. The series to this point had been tied 94-94 but after this week’s 35-14 victory the Green Bay Packer are now leading rivalry 95-94. The first matchup between the Bears and Packers took place in 1921 and the Packers had not led the series till 1932. Recently the Packers have dominated the Bears taking 9 out of the last 11 games in the last 5 years. Although fairly competitive games for the most part. the rise of the Packers Aaron Rodgers and the loss of the Bears Lance Briggs, Brian Urlacher and Charles Tillman over the last 5 years or so has been hard for the Bears.Sara Woods ‘18 comments, “ The Packer Bears rivalry is more than just a game it’s bragging rights for the season! My family is split through the middle between Packer fans and Bears fans so when these games roll around the family gathers to smack talk each other for a whole night. It’s nice. “With the highflying offense of the Packers and the on the rise running game of the Bears, this long rivalry should be a great one for many years to come.
