Packers can make rivalry history with win over Bears on Sunday

The Packers have won 10 straight games over the Bears. No team in the rivalry’s history has won 11 straight. Can the Packers get to 11 on Sunday?

The Green Bay Packers have won 10 straight games over the Chicago Bears and can make history in the NFL’s longest running rivalry with a win over the Bears on Sunday at Soldier Field.

According to the team, the Packers’ 10-game winning streak is tied for the longest in the Packers-Bears rivalry, matching the winning streak engineered by Brett Favre and Mike Holmgren between 1994 and 1998. With a win Sunday, the Packers can become the first team in the series to win 11 straight games.

Even if the Packers get to 11 straight on Sunday, NFL history is still far off in the distance. The NFL record for consecutive wins over a single opponent is 20, set by the Miami Dolphins over the Buffalo Bills between 1970 and 1980.

Coach Matt LaFleur is 10-0 against the Bears. He kicked off his coaching tenure in Green Bay with a 10-3 win over the Bears at Soldier Field on Sept. 5, 2019. The last Packers’ win in the series was a 17-9 victory at Lambeau Field in the regular season finale last year.

A little betting factoid: Not only have the Packers won 10 straight games over the Bears, but they’ve covered the point spread in all 10 games.

The Packers’ 10-game win streak over the Bears is the longest active streak against a single team in the NFL and the longest any team has ever had against the Bears in the team’s history.

Overall, the Packers have won 13 of the last 14 games at Soldier Field (only loss in 2018) and 25 of the last 30, including an NFC Championship Game win in Chicago following the 2010 season.

All-time, the Packers are 106-94-6 in the regular season against the Bears, including a 53-52-2 mark in Chicago.
