Fewer professional sports teams have a rivalry that is as history-laden as the Chicago Bears and the Green Bay Packers.
The Bears and Packers are two of the most historic teams in the NFL, and their rivalry has been going strong for over 100 years.
It has been more intense at times than others, but during the Aaron Rodgers era, it seemed to culminate at it’s peak.
Rodgers has discussed the rivalry and hatred on numerous occasions, always stressing how important it was to keep this going.
While the Packers have dominated the Bears over the past decade, there could be a changing of the guard starting in 2024.
The Bears used the No. 1 draft pick in 2024 to select Caleb Williams, a quarterback prospect that could change the direction of the franchise.
Williams is one of the most highly touted QB prospects in recent history, and Bears fans hope he can help turn the tides back toward the Bears.
Ari Meirov recently shared a video of Williams dancing to “Green Bay sucks” chants, which indicates how he feels about the Packers.

With any luck, Williams will find success in Year 1, hoping to beat teams like the Packers and Detroit Lions to establish himself in his rookie campaign.
Rookie quarterbacks have had varying amounts of luck in their first seasons over the past few years.
Some players, such as C.J. Stroud and Justin Herbert, have played well to begin their careers, and others, such as Zach Wilson and Trey Lance, have taken longer to get their feet under them.
With this in mind, it will be interesting to see how Williams fares.
