The Green Bay Packers will host the Chicago Bears on NFL Thursday Night Football in the third and final football game for Thanksgiving Day 2015. The Packers will be hoping to continue their return to form today with another win following last week's demolition of the Minnesota Vikings. However, the Bears nearly pulled off a surprise win over the Denver Broncos last week, and will feel they can give as good as they get in today's game. Things will get underway at 8.30 p.m. ET and takes place from Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The game can be watched on TV on the NBC network or online through live stream via the link below.
A Packers win today would see them even the all time series between these two huge rivals. Green Bay will be favorites after their excellent performance last week in defeating the Vikings, but the Bears will have running back Matt Forte and receiver Alshon Jeffery back for today's game, and that will be a big boost for them.
The 30-13 win over the Vikings last week saw the Packers end a three game slide, and allowed them to pull up level alongside the Vikings at the top of the division. Green Bay will want to win today to ensure they can at the very least end this week with a share of the top spot, however, a victory today would put a lot of pressure back on Minnesota to claim a win at the weekend to keep in touch.
Jay Cutler will be hoping for brighter days against the Packers today, after suffering 11 losses from his 12 games in his games for the Bears against Green Bay. Cutler has just three touchdown passes against 12 interceptions, as well as 18 sacks, in his 0-4 record at Lambeau Field - so this is not a happy hunting ground for him.
Cutler has said, "I know it would mean a lot to the city of Chicago, it would mean a lot to this locker room, but we play 16 games, every opponent is important to us. I don't think we're in a situation right now where we can pick and choose who we want to win and who we wanna lose to."
Meanwhile, Forte has spoken about his comeback: "I'm excited just to get back out there. Not really a lot of fun watching the games and doing all that and not be able to help your team win, so I'm not really used to doing that. But it's going to be fun to get back out there on the field and help us out. Just looking forward to being out there."
