Packers-Bears to play noon game at Lambeau Field for first time since 2008

The Green Bay Packers’ annual visit from the Chicago Bears has been played in primetime in front of a national audience each year for the past 10 years.

The streak will end Sunday when the Packers welcome the Bears to Lambeau Field for the rivalry’s first noon kickoff in Green Bay since 2008.

The Packers won eight of the last 10 games against the Bears at Lambeau Field, including last season’s thrilling comeback victory in Week 1.
