Chicago Bears Make Playoff Return
The Chicago Bears have ended their four-year playoff absence.
The team will face off against the Green Bay Packers, led by Jordan Love, in a wild-card game on Saturday, January 10, at Soldier Field.
This is quite a turnaround for a squad that struggled in 2024, finishing last in the NFC North with a record of 5 wins and 12 losses.
For those interested in catching Ben Johnson’s Monsters of the Midway in their first home playoff game since January 2019, tickets went on sale today.
Currently, the lowest ticket prices we found on major platforms like Ticketmaster and StubHub start at $434, including various fees from Vivid Seats.
If you’re looking for seats in the 100 level, expect to pay at least $786 through Vivid Seats.
During the 2025 regular season, the Bears and Packers met twice. In their first encounter on December 7, the Packers emerged victorious, beating the Bears 28-21, thanks to a strong second quarter.
However, in their rematch on December 20, the Bears turned the tables, winning 22-16 in overtime with a last-minute touchdown pass from Caleb Williams to DJ Moore.
Even with their success, the 11-6 Bears aren’t resting easy. Johnson expressed his respect for the Packers in a post-game press conference after their 19-16 loss to the Lions in Week 18. “It’s a good opponent. I think we’re pretty even,” he said. “I have a lot of respect for the talent on their team.” He seems eager for another thrilling matchup.
Both teams are entering this much-anticipated game after disappointing ends to their seasons. The 9-7 Packers missed the playoffs, while the Bears faced two tough losses against the 49ers and Lions.
The rivalry is intense, and both teams are clearly ready to fight for the win.
See you at Soldier Field!
