Chicago Bears vs. Green Bay Packers: Preview, Game Time and More
Complete game details for the Week 4 match-up between the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers.
The Chicago Bears are fresh off a win against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and they look to improve to a record of 2-2. The Chicago Bears will travel to Green Bay to face their hated rivals in a prime-time showdown on Thursday night.
There is certainly a lot of intrigue in this game, as the Chicago Bears beat an extremely talented Steelers team (much like the Packers). Meanwhile, the Packers needed a miraculous comeback by Aaron Rodgers to beat the 0-3 Cincinnati Bengals.
Mike Glennon gets another start at quarterback for the Chicago Bears, but I believe there is a strong chance that this is the last game he starts. He really needs to avoid any turnovers to have a good shot at keeping his job.
In my opinion, Glennon was awful again against the Steelers, only throwing for 101 yards. If it was not for the running game, then it would have been a long day for the Chicago Bears.
Jordan Howard, figuratively, played the entire game with one shoulder. He has a sprained AC joint and it made him come out of the game with the training staff two times. That guy is all heart and should be a captain on this team.
Tarik Cohen continues to be electric and had 78 yards rushing on 12 carries. I thought that his 73-yard run in overtime should have ended the game, but the referees ruled him out of bounds at the 37-yard line.
Both Howard and Cohen will be counted on to lead the Chicago Bears to victory, again. If the team can rush for another 220 yards on the ground, while keeping the ball out of Rodgers’ hands, then I think the Chicago Bears will have a fighting chance.

Stranger things have happened, though. So, maybe Glennon will prove me wrong, once again, and do the unthinkable. We will find out on Thursday night whether or not he is up to the task of beating the archrivals.
