A second showdown with the rival Chicago Bears in three weeks sets up the Green Bay Packers for a possible make-or-break game on Saturday evening.
Win the game, and the Packers put themselves into a division-leading position, which could be vital for any realistic chances of making both the NFC Championship and Super Bowl.
Lose the game, and it’s likely the Packers are in the same position they have been the previous two years with Jordan Love as their starting quarterback, battling for the #6 or #7 seed on the final weeks of the regular season and going on the road the entire postseason.
