The Chicago Bears are in big trouble in their wild-card matchup against the Green Bay Packers on Saturday night.

The Bears are going into halftime trailing 21-3, and the deficit could've been bigger if Packers kicker Brandon McManus made his field goal at the end of the half.

With the 18-point deficit, the Bears broke a franchise record for the biggest halftime deficit in a home playoff game, according to ESPN's Courtney Cronin.

The Bears just haven't had any answers for the Packers on either side of the ball.

Quarterback Caleb Williams is struggling mightily, completing 8-of-17 passes for just 78 yards and one interception. Chicago is also averaging less than three yards per carry.

Meanwhile, Packers quarterback Jordan Love has moved the ball up and down the field at will, completing 9-of-15 passes for 139 yards and three touchdowns. Green Bay is also averaging over five yards per carry.

The Bears better turn things around quickly or they'll be one-and-done in the playoffs after what was an impressive regular season.
