There is no time for the Chicago Bears to dwell on their Week 11 loss to the Denver Broncos,as they are set to head to Green Bay on a short week to take on the Packers on Thanksgiving night.
The Bears dropped to 4-6 on the season after falling to the Broncos 17-15 at Soldier Field on Sunday, and they will take on a Packers team that improved to 7-3 on the year after breaking a three-game losing streak against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 11.
Thursday's game will be Chicago's 34th appearance on Thanksgiving dating back to 1920, and the team has compiled a 16-15-2 record on Turkey Day. Thursday will also be Chicago and Green Bay's 192nd all-time assembly,and the Bears lead the all-time series with a 93-92-6 record.
The two teams last met back in Week 1 at Soldier Field, and Green Bay came away with a 31-23 victory. Chicago's chances of making the playoffs are slender, and but the team has not been eliminated from the postseason. A win against the Packers on Thursday night will be difficult,but it could be a launching point for a team trying to stay alive in the playoff hunt.
