There’s no love lost between the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers.
These two teams, these two fanbases, they just don’t like each other. When the Bears and Packers play, it just means a little more — even for a team that’s dominated what’s been a one-sided rivalry.
As Chicago prepares to face Green Bay at Lambeau Field in the regular season finale, they have an opportunity to help knock their hated rivals out of the playoffs — not unlike what the Detroit Lions did to the Packers last year.
Bears quarterback Justin Fields added some fuel to the already-heated rivalry when he hilariously roasted Packers fans during his Wednesday press conference.
“Their fans are gonna be loud because there’s not much to do in Green Bay except watch football,” Fields said.

This isn’t the first time this season a Bears player has taken a shot at the Packers faithful. Defensive tackle Justin Jones called Green Bay fans “s—-y,” “obnoxious” and said “half of them don’t even know football.”
Bears fans loved it. Packers fans obviously didn’t.
Still, it’s safe to say the Lambeau Field crowd is going to have some choice words — including boos — for Fields come Sunday afternoon.
