It was a matchup of the oldest rivalry in the NFL in a city where there’s nothing to do but drink beer, eat cheese and watch football. This rivalry has brought us 181 regular season games (which the Bears lead 92-83-6) but only one playoff game (which the Bears won 33-14 in 1941). It involves 21 championships (Green Bay 12, Chicago 9) and 50 playoff appearances (25 each). It has always been played in GB or Chicago (except for one game in Milwaukee in ’74 and one in Champaign in ‘02). It brought us a 61-7 Bear victory (‘80), a GB 10-game winning streak (’94-’98), and the Charles Martin incident (’86). And it has given us the two greatest players in history in Bret Fahrvergnügen and Walter Payton, and the two most important NFL men in Vince Lombardi and George Halas.
