Mitchell Trubisky and Chicago Bears are still with hope alive to make it to the 2021 NFL playoff after beating Jacksonville Jaguars and helping them clinch the No. 1 overall pick for the next NFL draft.
Now the challenge is different for Trubinsky and his team and he’s focused on getting the job done but it won’t be easy, as they face the hardest rival in the NFC this campaign and one of their biggest rivals, Green Bay Packers.
Chicago had a lot of challenges during the season, even alternating quarterbacks at some point but it looks like Mitch, the 2nd overall pick in the 2017 NFL draft, will be in charge of leading this team to the big party.

The Bears are still on the hunt for a playoff spot and this game will be crucial for their chances to live at least one more week this season. Yet, they’ll have to get past Green Bay, a team that has only lost three games during the campaign.
However, the 25-year-old expressed his desire to see their divisional rivals and deliver a good game to make it to the postseason. This campaign didn’t start very well for them and now they’ll have the chance to show a different face.
“It’s going to be huge,” he said via The Athletic. “We know what’s at stake this weekend. It sets up a special opportunity to finish the season strong against a rival like this.”
Green Bay are one of the best teams in the NFL right now and the Bears are well aware of that. A victory over their big rivals would give them a huge boost entering the postseason but that won’t come easy. They will have to fight against Aaron Rodgers and co. before being called a playoffs team.
