Here’s an updated list of the highlights and score updates for the Week 15 showdown between the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears. 

57. 0. 49. Final. 0

The Chicago Bears host the surging Green Bay Packers in the latest installment of one of the best rivalries in professional sports. While Bears fans may be rooting for the season to be over, Green Bay is just getting started.

They have made up a bit of ground in the NFC North race and trail the Detroit Lions by two games after winning three straight games. In order to make the playoffs, they’ll have to beat the Lions when they play them in Week 17 and hope the division leaders lose an extra game.

The Packers are led by star quarterback Aaron Rodgers who has accounted for 35 total touchdowns this season. During Green Bay’s current three-game winning streak, he has seven touchdown passes. Jordy Nelson is healthy, which has been a huge boost to their offense and Devante Adams has a good shot at getting 1,000 yards.

On the other side of the field, the Bears have lost four of their last five games. The lone win came against the one-win San Francisco 49ers in Week 13. However, they have played better as of late behind quarterback Matt Barkley who has been impressive and rookie running back Jordan Howard has been a revelation.

Highlights

*WILL BE POSTED AND UPDATED THROUGHOUT THE GAME*

Three Stars

1. Aaron Rodgers: After struggling a bit earlier this season, Rodgers appears to be back to his usual self with 32 touchdowns and only seven interceptions this season. Throughout his career, he has enjoyed facing the Bears, going 13-4 against them in the regular season. Expect a huge game from him, as Rodgers has a career 101.9 passer rating in the month of December.

2. Jordy Nelson: If you have to pick between starting Adams or Nelson, go with the veteran receiver. Adams averages under 50 yards per game against the Bears. Meanwhile, Nelson averages almost 70 yards per game and has 250 receiving yards over the past three weeks.

3. Matt Barkley: The former USC Trojan has found some success in recent weeks with the Bears. Against a Green Bay defense that allows over 250 passing yards per game, Barkley could put up some solid numbers and getting Alshon Jeffery back will be a huge help to him.
