The rivalry between the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers intensified before Sunday’s matchup.
After the Chicago Bears upset the Atlanta Falcons at home on Sunday, quarterback Justin Fields of the Bears was throwing more than just footballs during the team’s postgame news conference.
He was cited as stating the following while discussing what it will be like to play at Lambeau:. “Since there’s not much to do in Green Bay besides watch football, I know their fans will be rowdy.”
The football rivalry that will be on Sunday is the oldest in the league.
The Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears have been rivals on the football pitch for over a century. Fans claim that the rivalry between the two teams has been at its peak during the 207 meetings. Ask Alicia Pontel and Nate Hoyt, her stepson.
“Of Course. It’s always enormous in our house. large-scale disparagement. Many of my buddies are avid Packers supporters. In Wisconsin, I’m a minority. Thus, having a little trash talk with your friends is enjoyable. “I hope your team wins,” a Bears supporter named Nate Hoyt stated.
“Well, it’s quite large. He’s a Bears fan, only here in our house. I support the Packers. Talking to each other all the time,” stated Packers supporter Alicia Pontel.
The Packers have won their last nine games and have a slim advantage over the Bears in the win column. That’s one of the reasons Savannah, Georgia-based Randy Sapp and his brother Keith Sapp decided to travel the 1165 miles on their bucket list.
I’ve always wanted to visit the frozen tundra at Lambeau Field. Thus, my brother and I made the decision a few weeks ago to attempt to attend the last game and cross that off our list,” said Savannah, Georgia, resident Randy Sapp.
On Friday, the Sapps took a tour of the stadium.
“We’re hoping for snowfall to fall on the pitch. as there isn’t much snow where we live in South Georgia. However, we’re already as happy as we can be,” he remarked.
The Packers are 8-8 going into their matchup on Sunday. Bears record: 7-9.
