The Chicago Bears are looking to avenge their 28-21 loss at the Green Bay Packers in Week 14 when the two teams play on Saturday night.

Like in Week 14, Saturday’s game will determine if the Bears or Packers sit atop the NFC North with two games to go.
Chicago had a chance to keep the No. 1 seed in the NFC in Week 14, but Packers quarterback Jordan Love shrugged off an early interception to finish with 234 passing yard and three touchdowns. He had two pass players of 40+ yards.

Bears head coach Ben Johnson told the media this week that Love has the defense’s attention this week after his performance in the first matchup. Making Love a non-factor is near impossible, but Chicago wants to contain the damage he causes.
“He’s very difficult to get to,” Johnson said of Love, via the Bears. “He does a great job drifting away from the pressure. They do a great job in their protection scheme in terms of looking to keep the pocket clean. They do a lot of chips on the edges to slow down your edge rushers, so you’re looking for your interior to get a little push.
“But yet when you do that, he can still find a way to buy a little bit of time, and he has a knack with the speed he has at receiver to float that ball out there in front of them and throw them open. That’s what makes him a really dangerous player right now. He’s doing a really good job and playing at a really high level.”
The Bears defense is struggling to rush the passer this season, ranking 20th in the league before Week 16. Chicago defensive coordinator Dennis Allen might want to dial up some exotic pressure to contain Love on Saturday night.
