Fireworks are expected to erupt during the second game of the 2026 NFL wild-card playoffs, an NFC North matchup that figures to be among the postseason's most competitive.
It's not hyperbole to say that the Bears and Packers don't like each other. How could they? They are divisional rivals whose recent matchups have made for critical viewing.
Chicago and Green Bay are only weeks removed from their latest duel, an epic that saw the Bears secure a win in the match's final moments. Ben Johnson's side hasn't won a playoff game since 2011. A home joust against a side teeming with injuries that only won nine games doesn't appear the most challenging. Then again, it is the Packers, who are 30-10 when facing Chicago since 2006.

4:30 p.m.: The forecast for tonight's contest looked a bit ominous, with rain and wind expected to fall upon Soldier Field. However, recent projections indicate things could hold up come opening kickoff.
Slight chance for minimal precipitation between now and early in tonight's game at Soldier Field.

But right now the sun is out and it's gorgeous for the second week of January along the lakefront.
