The Green Bay Packers are focusing on building momentum rather than playoff seeding as they prepare to face the struggling Chicago Bears. Currently positioned as the No. 7 seed in the NFC, the Packers can move up to the sixth seed with a victory over the Bears and a loss by the Washington Commanders. Quarterback Jordan Love emphasized that the team is excited for the playoffs, regardless of their seeding.

Coach Matt LaFleur plans to play his starters, while tight end Tucker Kraft believes a strong performance could propel them into the postseason. The Packers have a notable 11-game winning streak over the Bears, who have lost 10 consecutive games. Chicago's rookie quarterback Caleb Williams acknowledges the need for improvement, while running back Josh Jacobs aims to extend his touchdown streak.
