The Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Bears renew acquaintances on the lakefront for a noon kickoff on Sunday.

The Packers needed the bye week to dry out after being washed away by the rain and a superior Detroit Lions team on Sunday, losing the game 24-14 at soggy Lambeau Field. With the score 10-3 and inside of a minute to go in the second quarter, the Packers' Jordan Love threw a back-breaking pick-six touchdown that gave the Lions a two-touchdown lead at the break. The Packers continued to pile up yards without results in the second half, with the Packers only able to trade a touchdown with a field goal to make it 24-6 Lions late. Emmanuel Wilson's two-yard touchdown in garbage time late made the game closer but still sent the Packers to 0-2 in the NFC North for the first time in nearly a decade.

The Bears have had their struggles as of late, chasing a three-game winning streak with a similar losing skid, including the last two games out of their bye week. The organization fired its offensive coordinator, Shane Waldron, to kick off their Packers prep week, elevating its passing game coordinator, Thomas Brown, to the post.
