Inside the 2025 NFC Wild Card Showdown: How the Packers’ Secret Edge Seals Their Victory Over the Bears
The Packers were up 10 points with five minutes left in their 22-16 overtime loss at Chicago in Week 16. That game got weird early when Green Bay QB Jordan Love left with a concussion.
To Packers backup QB Malik Willis’ credit, he was fantastic and wasn’t the reason they lost. But Love changes the entire profile of Green Bay’s offense, and it matters against a Bears’ defense that lives on takeaways.
Love is tied for second in QBR and sixth in interception rate. Chicago has an NFL-best +22 turnover margin, but the underlying defense is far less impressive: The Bears rank 29th in yards per play allowed.
