Are the Chicago Bears Moving to Milwaukee?
April Fools! The Chicago Bears are not moving to Milwaukee… at least not anytime soon.
But while we have your attention, it felt like a good time to revisit something very real. Over the years, the Green Bay Packers have had no shortage of straight-up embarrassing wins over their biggest rival.
From playoff games to last-second moments, this rivalry has produced some unforgettable results. Here are some of the craziest Packers wins over the Bears.
7. 1994 Statement Win (Packers 33, Bears 6)
This game marked the true turning point of the rivalry.
Late in Brett Favre’s career, this game felt like a reminder that nothing had really changed in the rivalry. The Bears had made their Super Bowl run the year before and were still seen as a tough, physical team, but Green Bay controlled the game when it mattered.
Favre delivered in overtime, leading the Packers down the field and finishing the job with a touchdown that put the game away. It wasn’t the highest-stakes matchup on this list, but it reinforced something Bears fans have dealt with for decades. Even when things feel competitive, the Packers usually find a way to close it out.
6. 2007 Favre Overtime Win (Packers 37, Bears 27)
Late-career Brett Favre magic.
This game didn’t look historic at first, but it became much bigger in hindsight. The Packers were in the middle of their late-season push after Aaron Rodgers made his famous “run the table” comment, and every game suddenly carried weight.
Chicago kept it close, but Rodgers made the throws he needed to down the stretch, including a deep shot to Jordy Nelson that helped set up the winning score. It was one of those games where the Packers didn’t dominate, but they stayed composed while the Bears couldn’t quite finish. That difference ended up defining the rest of the season.
5. 2016 Late-Season Playoff Push (Packers 30, Bears 27)
This game helped launch the famous “Run the Table” stretch.
If you want to understand how this rivalry shifted so dramatically, this is one of the games that started it. The Packers didn’t just beat the Bears, they controlled the game from start to finish in a way that felt like a statement.
This was early in the Brett Favre era, when Green Bay was still building momentum, but this win helped signal a change. From that point forward, the Packers began to take control of the rivalry in a way that would last for decades. It wasn’t flashy, but it mattered more than most people realize.
4. 2013 Week 17 Division Decider (Packers 33, Bears 28)
Win and you’re in.
This is one of the most clutch moments in the history of Packers vs Bears. The NFC North was on the line, and Aaron Rodgers was returning from injury with everything at stake.
On 4th-and-8 late in the game, Rodgers connected with Randall Cobb for a 48-yard touchdown that sealed the division. It’s one of those plays that instantly becomes part of franchise history. High pressure, biggest rival, season on the line, and the Packers delivered.
3. 2014 Blowout (Packers 55, Bears 14)
This was straight humiliation.
Aaron Rodgers threw six touchdown passes in the first half alone, tying an NFL record and completely overwhelming the Bears before halftime. The game was effectively over before Chicago had any chance to respond.
It wasn’t just a win, it was embarrassing for the Bears. Games like this don’t just count in the standings, they stick with a fanbase. This was one of the clearest examples of how lopsided the rivalry has been in the modern era.
2. 2018 “Rodgers Comeback Game” (Packers 24, Bears 23)
Down 20-0. Rodgers injured. Season opener.
Everything pointed to a Bears win, especially with a dominant defensive performance early. Then Rodgers came back out in the second half and completely flipped the game.
He led a 17-point comeback, including multiple deep throws that broke Chicago’s defense. It’s one of the most iconic performances of his career and one of the most painful collapses for Bears fans. This game alone is enough to define the rivalry for an entire generation.
1. 2010 NFC Championship Game (Packers 21, Bears 14)
This is the one. No debate.
The Packers and Bears met in the NFC Championship Game at Soldier Field with a Super Bowl on the line. In the most important matchup the rivalry has ever seen, Green Bay came out on top.
Aaron Rodgers led the offense, the defense made key plays, and the Packers punched their ticket to the Super Bowl. Winning is one thing, but doing it against your biggest rival, on their field, with everything at stake, puts this firmly at number one.
Happy April Fools From True North Wisconsin!
April Fools or not, one thing about this rivalry is very real. The Green Bay Packers have built a long list of moments at the expense of the Chicago Bears, and these games are just a snapshot of it.
Some were blowouts. Some were comebacks. Some ended seasons. But they all point to the same pattern. When the stakes are highest, the Packers tend to deliver.
And if the Bears ever did end up in Milwaukee, it might make the rivalry closer geographically. It probably wouldn’t change much on the field.
