Inside the 2025 NFC Wild Card Showdown: How the Packers’ Secret Edge Seals Their Victory Over the Bears
Another thing working in Green Bay’s favor is how each team treated Week 18.
Chicago played its starters and was legitimately trying to win and earn the 2-seed for the NFC playoffs. Regardless, Detroit’s wide receivers were running wide-open all game. That’s not exactly a confidence booster for the Bears heading into a game against Packers head coach Matt LaFleur.
Green Bay, on the other hand, pretty much treated the regular-season finale like a bye week, resting most of its starters. That extra time matters, especially since Love is coming back to a mostly healthy WR corps and an elite playcaller.
