Fireworks are expected to erupt during the second game of the 2026 NFL wild-card playoffs<\/a>, an NFC North matchup that figures to be among the postseason’s most competitive.<\/p>\n It’s not hyperbole to say that the Bears<\/a> and Packers<\/a> don’t like each other. How could they? They are divisional rivals whose recent matchups have made for critical viewing.<\/p>\n Chicago and Green Bay are only weeks removed from their latest duel, an epic that saw the Bears secure a win in the match’s final moments. Ben Johnson’s side hasn’t won a playoff game since 2011. A home joust against a side teeming with injuries that only won nine games doesn’t appear the most challenging. Then again, it is the Packers, who are 30-10 when facing Chicago since 2006.<\/p>\n The Sporting News is tracking live updates from Saturday’s playoff game between the Bears and the Packers. Follow below for highlights, analysis and more as NFC North heavyweights meet for a chance to punch a ticket into the divisional round.<\/p>\n STREAM:\u00a0Watch Bears vs. Packers LIVE with Amazon Prime Video<\/a><\/p>\n Bears vs. Packers score<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n NFL PLAYOFFS HQ: Live NFL scores<\/a> | Full NFL schedule<\/a>\u00a0| Updated NFL bracket<\/a><\/p>\n Bears vs. Packers live score, highlights from 2026 NFL wild-card playoff game<\/p>\n (All times Eastern)<\/p>\n 7:00 p.m.:\u00a0Chicago will sport all-navy for tonight’s contest.
