We played the Falcons tough. Beat the Steelers. Can we pull an upset on Thursday Night?
Yes...Assuming Howard, Sitton, and Amukamara are healthy and depending on if The Log can find good food to feed our playmakers. The Bears need to be Bears: stout, physical and determined. Let's crush the cow milkers.
The Packers are not that good defending the run. They are tied with the Giants at #23rd in the NFL against the run (LINK). If Howard can play, I think we have a shot to give them a good game. The Bears are a top-10 run D now (LINK). And we have faced some decent QBs so far in Big Ben, Jameis Winston & Matt Ryan - and especially today we're looking decent.

Well, the Packers should have an issue stopping Cohen as well.
Hard to say. Packers are not like the Steelers. Aaron Rodgers can run out of the pocket if needed and will always find ways to make plays extend. The only way I see us having a chance is if we keep him off the field and keep a balance offense. If Howard and Cohen can have another 200+ yard game then we have a shot at winning.
Bear down Chicago Bears, make every play clear the way to victory. Bear down Chicago Bears, put up a fight with a might so fearlessly. We'll never forget the way you thrilled the nation with your T-formation. Bear down Chicago Bears, and let them know why you're wearing the crown. You're the pride and joy of Illinois, Chicago Bears, Bear down!!!
