<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no other way to slice it.<\/p>\n

Sunday\u2019s game between the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears is massive. The Packers and Bears are tied in the loss column, and the winner of Sunday\u2019s game will be in sole possession of first place in the NFC North.<\/p>\n

There has not been a game like this between these teams since 2013, when Randall Cobb and Aaron Rodgers broke the hearts of Bears fans everywhere with a touchdown in the final minute to give the Packers the NFC North title.<\/p>\n

Since 1992, the Packers are 51-16 against the Bears. The rivalry has been incredibly one-sided, but the Bears did win 24-22 in the regular-season finale at Lambeau Field last year.<\/p>\n

Was that a blip on the radar or a changing of the guard? That question will not be answered Sunday, but for the Packers to ensure themselves an excellent shot at winning the NFC North, they need to win.<\/p>\n

Here are the 10 most important Packers to make sure that happens.<\/p>\n

No. 10: WR Jayden Reed<\/h2>\n

Jayden Reed \u2013 aka Bird \u2013 was cleared to fly when the Packers activated him off injured reserve on Saturday. Reed brings dynamics to the offense that have been missing since Tucker Kraft was lost for the season with a knee injury. Reed was the team\u2019s leading receiver each of the last two years and excels in creating yards after the ball is in his hands.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Green Bay\u2019s offense can now be whole with him in it.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, I think so. I think the playmaking ability he has in the slot is one of the better in the NFL,\u201d offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich said. \u201cHis explosive ability, his ability to be active in the run game, as well, with some other plays like that. Whenever the point is that we get him back, it definitely opens a lot of things up, for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n

Opening things up against a Chicago defense that has struggled this season could bode well for Green Bay\u2019s passing offense to continue to ascend.<\/p>\n

No. 9: RB Josh Jacobs<\/h2>\n

Josh Jacobs looked like a new man in the Packers\u2019 Thanksgiving win over the Lions. He looked spry and explosive after missing the win over the Vikings with a knee injury. Jacobs looked particularly explosive on a 29-yard-run that converted a third-and-2 in the first half.<\/p>\n

The Bears have one of the worst run defenses in the NFL, which should bode well for Green Bay\u2019s run game to continue to improve as the weather turns colder. When the Packers signed Jacobs two offseasons ago, this was the type of game they had in mind, with a kickoff temperature of about 17 and quickly falling once the sun sets.<\/p>\n

Chicago will be missing at least one of their starting linebackers with Tremaine Edmunds on injured reserve. Chicago\u2019s defense has struggled in general against the run this year, and Matt LaFleur likes to lean on his run game when applicable.<\/p>\n

That points to a lot of opportunities for Jacobs to make his presence felt.<\/p>\n

No. 8: WR Christian Watson<\/h2>\n

Matt LaFleur has said this line of thinking is vomit-inducing, but it sure looks like there is one receiver who is starting to establish himself as Green Bay\u2019s go-to receiver.<\/p>\n

Christian Watson has been as dynamic as the Packers could have hoped for since returning from an ACL injury that he suffered in January against these Bears. What happened next was one of the coolest moments from the 2025 season. As Watson was on the ground with an obviously serious injury, Bears defensive back Jaylon Johnson put his hand on him and knelt in prayer.<\/p>\n

\"Green<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

While these two teams are fierce rivals, it was a good reminder that there are still humans in the opposing color.<\/p>\n

When the game starts, however, Watson won\u2019t be thinking about that, but rather how he can build on the momentum that he\u2019s started to establish, which included a 51-yard touchdown last week against the Lions.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m real confident,\u201d Watson said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we\u2019re definitely on the right track to get to that elite level that we want to be playing at. We\u2019ve just got to consistently do it, but I think we\u2019ve been playing some really good ball. I think if we can continue to stack games and continue to get better, I think we\u2019ll be in a really good spot.\u201d<\/p>\n

No. 7: CB Keisean Nixon<\/h2>\n

Keisean Nixon is part of the Packers\u2019 defensive foundation. While he is third in the NFL with 14 passes defensed, he is coming off a rough performance in the win over the Lions.<\/p>\n

Nixon was flagged for a questionable illegal-contact penalty that wiped out a third-down sack by Kingsley Enagbare.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s one of those bang-bang\u201d plays, defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley said. \u201cBy the letter of the law, you can\u2019t contact a guy down the field. So, he\u2019s got to play with his eyes and his feet and play with great leverage and drive the route when the route breaks.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was unfortunate. That was third-and-15, we get a sack and, at that point, it\u2019s a 10-point game and that led to three points. We can\u2019t foul on third down. That\u2019s really important. We can\u2019t foul on third down. So, we\u2019ll keep coaching them better and, hopefully, we won\u2019t have any more of those going forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

That was not the only negative play, though. Nixon was part of a secondary that was victimized by receiver Jameson Williams for 144 yards on seven catches.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Nixon\u2019s competitive nature, often a positive trait, can become a detriment in these bigger games. Nixon\u2019s motor always runs hot, and that can get him into difficult situations.<\/p>\n

Nixon\u2019s an emotional player and will need to control those emotions as the stakes continue to rise. That\u2019s especially true for the times when Nixon will be matched against D.J. Moore, whom Caleb Williams is likely to lean on with Rome Odunze ruled out for the game.<\/p>\n

Williams has made some strides this season but has the lowest completion percentage in the league. Taking the ball away should be paramount for Green Bay\u2019s defense this week, and one of their cornerbacks needs to come away with an errant pass.<\/p>\n

No. 6: LB Quay Walker<\/h2>\n

While the Packers lost one of their best players on the defensive line with Devonte Wyatt\u2019s season-ending injury, they are getting one of their top run defenders back with Quay Walker set to return to the lineup after missing the last two games with a stinger.<\/p>\n

Walker has been universally praised by the coaching staff this season, with Jeff Hafley recently saying he\u2019s played \u201celite\u201d football this season.<\/p>\n

\"Green<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Isaiah McDuffie filled in more than admirably in Walker\u2019s absence, but against the dominant rushing attack the Bears boast, they need all hands on deck.<\/p>\n

\u201cMcDuffie was outstanding in those two games that he played Mike linebacker,\u201d Hafley said. \u201cOne, I think the communication and the ability to take the call from myself and get the guys lined up and make adjustments with him throughout the game.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hafley pointed to a third-down stop when he was hoping McDuffie would slide the front.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe slid the front and I was like, \u2018He got it,\u2019 which I think was a big step for him, and I think that gives you a small example of what he\u2019s been able to do at a hard position to play mentally fairly quickly.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd then nothing else surprises me. The guy\u2019s as tough as they come. He\u2019s going to give everything he has on every single play for his teammates and for his coaches and for the Green Bay Packers, and he\u2019s physical and he knocks guys backward and he\u2019s solid in the run game and he\u2019s just a fighter. I love the guy. I think he\u2019s got the respect of every person in this organization and he\u2019s going to continue to play a lot of football for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Against the run-heavy Bears, McDuffie may get a lot of opportunities to play depending how Chicago wants to use its personnel groupings on offense and how much base defense the Packers will play. One thing is certain, however: The Packers are happy to have Walker back in the middle to help spark their defense.<\/p>\n

No. 5: S Evan Williams<\/h2>\n

Speaking of great run defenders from the second or third level of the defense, Evan Williams has blossomed into a physical defender in the run game. He was one of the key cogs that helped the Packers keep Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs under wraps for the second time in two games.<\/p>\n

If not for Javon Bullard, Williams might have a claim for the player who has made the biggest leap from his rookie season to his second year.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s a special player, man,\u201d Xavier McKinney said. \u201cAnd I\u2019ve been preaching this for a minute. But just seeing his growth, man, it\u2019s impressive to see. And my job has always been, even since I came here, it\u2019s try to elevate these guys and try to get them to go a step higher.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s done a hell of a job for this defense, for this team, and you just continue to see his growth, within every game, within every practice, and that\u2019s good for all of us.\u201d<\/p>\n

With Chicago\u2019s run game, Williams will be a key part of keeping them from getting explosive plays and keeping them in potential passing situations.<\/p>\n

No. 4: DT Colby Wooden<\/h2>\n

Green Bay\u2019s defensive line will be facing one of its biggest challenges of the season. The Bears\u2019 rugged offensive line and running back tandem has powered the Bears to the top of the league in rushing yards per game since Week 5.<\/p>\n

That was highlighted by last week\u2019s drubbing of the defending Super Bowl champions, with both of Chicago\u2019s running backs, D\u2019Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai, topping the century mark.<\/p>\n

\"Green<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

On top of facing the league\u2019s best rushing offense, they have to do so without one of their best defensive linemen. Devonte Wyatt will miss the rest of the season with an ankle injury he suffered on Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n

Green Bay\u2019s run defense has been anchored by one of their new starters who they refer to as \u201cThe General,\u201d and the Packers will need Wooden to get back to playing the way he was early in the season.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve just got to keep going. We\u2019re obviously going to miss D-Wy, but it\u2019s the next man up. We just got to keep going,\u201d Wooden said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know we\u2019re going to miss D-Wy out there, but at the end of that, we\u2019ve got a job to do and we got to keep going. So, for us, that\u2019s physicality, that\u2019s locking into our assignments, being more detailed, if that\u2019s what it takes. But we just got to keep playing good ball and doing our job.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stopping Chicago\u2019s offense starts with stopping the run. That is likely defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley\u2019s biggest point of emphasis for his defense as he asks them to do their job on Sunday. That will start with Wooden at a position group rounded out by Karl Brooks and a pair of rookies.<\/p>\n

No. 3: DE Micah Parsons<\/h2>\n

Micah Parsons said he was looking for respect. It\u2019s hard to imagine anyone in the NFL does not respect the ability that Parsons has as a player, but that is how the great players remain great.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think every week people question my worth. People try to belittle me and try to take away my name. When you\u2019re the best that\u2019s what happens \u2013 you are talked about, you\u2019re looked at more closely.\u201d Parsons said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI could go out there and have five sacks and people would say, \u2018Oh, it\u2019s coverage sacks. They held the ball.\u2019 They\u2019re going to find something. You\u2019ll never prove anything wrong but I will say, for me, you\u2019ll never question how hard I play. Sh**, I could go out there and have TFLs and they\u2019ll still say I\u2019m not physical.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt don\u2019t matter what you do or what you put on tape, as long as it\u2019s about winning, I\u2019m a winner. I\u2019ve got to find a way to win. So, yeah, I\u2019m still earning my respect, and it\u2019s a year-in, year-out thing. You could be the best this year, and you could earn your respect and then the following year you can fall off. And it would be like, \u2018Hmm.\u2019 So, respect is being consistent.\u201d<\/p>\n

Parsons has been consistently dominant for this Packers defense. His last performance saw him get 2.5 sacks, including two in the fourth quarter against Jared Goff and the powerful Lions offense.<\/p>\n

This week, he\u2019ll get opportunities to chase down Caleb Williams. Williams is hard to sack because of his elusiveness and ability to escape opposing defenders.<\/p>\n

Parsons has been one of the best in the NFL at sacking the quarterback, behind only Cleveland\u2019s Myles Garrett and New York\u2019s Brian Burns.<\/p>\n

The Packers formula is pretty simple. Get the lead and hand it over to their closer. That\u2019s Parsons. Closing games becomes even more important as the calendar turns to December.<\/p>\n

Great players win these games. The Packers need Parsons to be great.<\/p>\n

No. 2: QB Jordan Love<\/h2>\n

Jordan Love himself probably said it best.<\/p>\n

\u201cMan, it’s a big game \u2013 a big game, for sure,\u201d Love said.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously. You know, NFC North matchup and, obviously, the Bears No. 1 in the NFC and top of the NFC North right now. So, it\u2019ll be a great game and, obviously, a game we got to go out there and handle business.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Green<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Fair or not, the games of this magnitude come down to quarterbacks. Last year, the Packers were often terrible in big games, and Love was not much better.<\/p>\n

Against Detroit, Philadelphia, and Minnesota, the three best teams in the NFC in 2024, Love threw eight touchdowns and eight interceptions. That included two multi-interception games as the Packers fell behind early and trailed by multiple scores.<\/p>\n

Love has been much better in big games this season. In two games against Detroit, the biggest games of the year thus far, Love has thrown six touchdowns and zero interceptions. He did not turn the ball over against the Lions in either game.<\/p>\n

He only has three interceptions on the season and has not thrown one since the beginning of November against the Panthers.<\/p>\n

Taking care of the ball is paramount in every game, but that\u2019s especially true against the Bears, who lead the league in takeaways.<\/p>\n

The Bears are coming off a signature win against the Eagles. Chicago forced two turnovers against the team that had led the league with the fewest giveaways.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, it\u2019s something that we’ve harped on all season, so we\u2019ve got to go out there and do a great job of just protecting the ball,\u201d Love said. \u201cAnd that’s everybody. That’s me, the receivers, the running back, tight ends \u2013 anybody that’s carrying the ball.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey’re No. 1 in the league at creating turnovers and getting interceptions. Their DBs are aware of the ball and they’re making plays when it is in the air. So, obviously, a great group of DBs over there, but it just comes down to us being smart with the decisions and just take care of it at all times.\u201d<\/p>\n

If the Packers are able to take care of the ball, they should be able to find holes in Chicago\u2019s defense, which has lived largely on turnovers this season. That is, however, the biggest \u201cif\u201d possible.<\/p>\n

No. 1: DE Rashan Gary<\/h2>\n

When the calendar turned to November, Rashan Gary was sitting at 7.5 sacks after a two-sack performance against Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers.<\/p>\n

With the calendar now turning to December, Gary is stuck on 7.5 sacks, which means he was shut out for the month of November.<\/p>\n

Gary is supposed to be the second part of a dynamic rushing duo with Micah Parsons. There is more to playing Gary\u2019s position than sacking the quarterback, and his run-stopping ability will be vital against the Bears\u2019 formidable rushing attack. But, ultimately, sacks are what make defensive ends their money.<\/p>\n

Gary is being paid like an elite edge rusher, but has yet to prove to be one throughout this season. As the stakes rise in these games, teams are going to continue to do what they can to make sure Parsons does not wreck the game against their offense.<\/p>\n

That should mean more opportunities for the rest of the guys on the defensive front to get after opposing passers. With Devonte Wyatt down for the rest of the season, the Packers need more from Gary. That needs to start against Caleb Williams, who has been as elusive as any quarterback at escaping the grasp of opposing defenders.<\/p>\n

Gary needs to stay disciplined to keep Williams in the pocket but also get him on the ground.<\/p>\n
