The Chicago Bears hope to end their regular season on a high note and take the upper hand in Saturday night’s NFC North matchup against the Green Bay Packers.
After quarterback Caleb Williams threw a game-ending interception in the final seconds two weeks ago against Green Bay, Williams rebounded strongly against the Cleveland Browns last week to lead Chicago to a 31-3 victory.

In that win, Williams got off to the fast start he and head coach Ben Johnson had been clamoring for over the past few weeks, and it paid off in a big way. Williams seized the momentum early and never looked back against Cleveland, finishing the day with 242 yards passing, two touchdowns and zero interceptions while also throwing one of the most incredible passes of the entire NFL season.
The Bears plan to get revenge on the Packers and win their third straight game in the 2025 season, and here are the three keys to their offense that could help them do so:
Another quick start
The quick, early lead worked wonders for the Bears and their momentum against the Browns, especially for Caleb Williams. He’ll need to replicate that success on Saturday, as he needs to continue showing improvement from his last game against Green Bay, when he threw for just 32 yards in the first half. Finding the right combination of offense to keep their offense going, the Bears will need to have the perfect plan to get out early against the Packers.

Caleb Williams continues the momentum
Seeing Williams excel in the passing game in the frigid temperatures at Soldier Field is a very welcome sign, and he should have a chance to feel more confident in the pocket without Micah Parsons on the other side. Williams showed his best play outside of the pocket last week against Cleveland and scrambled when needed, and if he can stay confident in the passing game, the Bears may have a chance to score a lot of points.
A healthy dose of balanced charge attack
Entering the first game of the season, the Bears were strong with 281 yards rushing against the Philadelphia Eagles, but rushed for less than half that, 138 yards, the following week against the Packers. The rushing attack also had a healthy balance last week against Cleveland, although they totaled 142 yards, not much more than they did against Green Bay. D’Andre Swift ran into the end zone twice in a win over the Browns Soldier Field always welcomes good football in December.
