The Chicago Bears have officially ended their playoff drought.
After four years without postseason action, Caleb Williams and his team are set to face Jordan Love’s Green Bay Packers in a wild-card matchup on Saturday, January 10th at Soldier Field.
It’s quite an achievement for a team that wrapped up the 2024 season at the bottom of the NFC North with a record of 5 wins and 12 losses.

The Bears and Packers faced each other twice during the 2025 regular season. In the first game on December 7, Green Bay claimed victory with a 28-21 score after leading at halftime.
In their second encounter on December 20, Chicago staged a comeback, winning 22-16 in overtime thanks to a pivotal touchdown pass from Caleb Williams to DJ Moore.
Yet, despite their 11-6 record, the Windy City team isn’t resting on their laurels. Johnson mentioned post-game, “It’s a tough opponent. I think we’re pretty evenly matched. I respect their talent and coaching. It’s bound to be an exciting game.”
Both teams come into this much-anticipated matchup with some losses to process. The Packers, with a record of 9-7, were knocked out of the playoffs, while the Bears faltered in their last two games against the 49ers and Lions.
