How to watch and stream Bears vs. Packers in NFL Week 5 with kickoff time, broadcast map, and other viewing options
The Chicago Bears are getting set for their first matchup against the Green Bay Packers of the season on Sunday and the rivalry hate is already starting to heat up going into this one.
The Chicago Bears are riding a two-game win streak into Lambeau Field on Sunday against the Green Bay Packers, who are eager to get a big win that can hopefully kickstart what’s been a slow start to their season.
How the Bears have been winning over the last two games has been impressive and a full team effort. Even starting two different quarterbacks in Case Keenum and Tyson Bagent, the Bears still managed to win each of their last two games by 2+ possessions thanks to a strong run game and a suddenly stout defense.
Both teams are looking to avoid an 0-2 start in divisional play on Sunday after both teams lost to the Minnesota Vikings earlier in the season. It’s going to be a competitive one, and certainly going to be heated given the rivalry between these two. Here’s how you can watch or stream the action this weekend.

Bears are bringing a different kind of intensity into this game
Immediately after Chicago’s win over the New York Jets last Sunday, head coach Ben Johnson gathered the team together in the locker room and reminded the team who they’re playing this week, followed a simple: “enough said.”
“This is a big week for us,” Johnson said on Monday. “It’s important to our organization, and it’s important to theirs as well. It’ll be really good competition here on Sunday.”
The Bears went 2-1 against the Packers last season, including a playoff win in the NFC Wild Card round, but the Packers got the upper hand in the first matchup at Lambeau. Going into this game, the Bears are favored for the first time in 20 years going into Green Bay and haven’t won three straight against the Packers since 2005-2006.
Johnson reignited the NFL’s oldest rivalry last year, not just by beating the Packers twice, but also with how he discussed Green Bay any chance he got. He doesn’t like this team and he sent the message that no one in Chicago should like this team. And it was an easy message for his players to gravitate around.
“I feel like he [Johnson] wants to beat them really bad, like everybody else in the room, every Chicago fan,” WR Luther Burden III said. “We just want to beat them real bad and make them quit.”
The Packers have taken a different approach based on the comments head coach Matt LaFleur has made since Sunday’s win. But, internally, you know the Packers players feel the same kind of fire about the Bears. I can’t wait to see how this one goes down.
