The Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers square off Sunday at Green Bay’s Lambeau Field, as the NFL’s oldest rivalry is set to end the regular season for both teams.
The game has massive implications for both teams, as the Packers will make the playoffs with a win (they could still make it with a loss, but would need multiple other teams to lose) and the Bears, who have already locked up the first overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft after a trade with the Carolina Panthers, will have one last opportunity to decide if they want to keep Justin Fields or look elsewhere at quarterback in the draft.
Fields didn’t seem too worried about the future when meeting with the media on Wednesday, as he was in an upbeat mood and even had a funny dig at Green Bay.
Justin Fields: “Not much to do in Green Bay besides watch football”

“It’ll be a fun environment to walk into. Their home field,” Fields said. “I know their fans are gonna be loud, ’cause there’s not much to do in Green Bay besides watch football. It’s going to be a great environment and hopefully, it’ll be a great game and we’ll get it done on Sunday.”
If Fields can lead the Bears to their first win at Lambeau Field since Thanksgiving 2015, the team may have no choice but to keep him.
