The Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears will renew the NFL’s oldest rivalry on Sunday.  Green Bay will travel to Soldier Field on Sunday.  It will mark the 209th meeting, with Green Bay leading the all time series 107-95-6.

Chicago started the year off with a promising 4-2 record.  However, they have since gone on a losing streak and currently sit 4-5.  Green Bay is coming in at 6-3 and looking to keep pace with the Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions in the NFC North.

As it turns out, Chicago will be without one key starter.
