Green Bay, Wisconsin – December 7, 2025

Time is running out: only one day remains before the NFC North rivalry ignites at Lambeau Field, where the Chicago Bears will fight to protect their division lead while the Green Bay Packers attempt to seize control in one of the most consequential matchups of the 2025 season. With playoff stakes rising, this Week 14 battle has the attention of the entire NFL landscape — and especially two fanbases hungry for postseason glory.

The showdown kicks off Sunday, December 7 at 4:30 PM ET, following a brief pregame tribute honoring Bears legend Walter Payton. FOX will broadcast the matchup nationwide, with the crew of Kevin Burkhardt, Tom Brady, Erin Andrews, and Tom Rinaldi on the call. Streaming options include the FOX Sports App, FuboTV, YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, and in-market access via the Packers and Bears mobile apps. Radio coverage features the Packers Radio Network with Wayne Larrivee and Larry McCarren, while Chicago’s call airs on WBBM 780 AM / 105.9 FM.

Weather expectations set the tone for a classic Lambeau Field afternoon: 28°F, partly cloudy, and just enough wind to remind everyone that December football in Wisconsin is a different experience. Gates will open at 1:00 PM ET, with tickets available on major platforms starting around $150.

The Bears arrive at 9–3, holding the NFC’s No. 1 seed and sporting one of the league’s most balanced squads. Rookie quarterback Caleb Williams continues to play with veteran poise, supported by an explosive receiving duo in Rome Odunze and Keenan Allen. Defensively, Chicago leans on Montez Sweat and Tremaine Edmunds, forming a unit ranked top-five in sacks and fifth overall in road performance at 5–1. The Bears’ primary challenge: limit turnovers and prevent Green Bay from dictating tempo through the run game.

The Packers, meanwhile, enter at 8–3–1, understanding fully that a win flips the NFC North standings. Quarterback Jordan Love has been one of the NFL’s most efficient passers this season, while weapons like Jayden Reed and Tucker Kraft help power a top-10 passing offense. Defensively, Rashan Gary and Jaire Alexander anchor a group that ranks seventh in points allowed. Green Bay’s focus will be capitalizing on early downs and forcing Williams into tight-window throws.

Key matchups to watch include:
– Caleb Williams vs. Jaire Alexander in a high-stakes test of rookie composure
– Bears run defense vs. Josh Jacobs, who has been one of the league’s hottest backs
– Love’s deep ball vs. Chicago’s evolving secondary
– Red-zone execution, especially in frigid conditions

Oddsmakers list Chicago as 1.5-point favorites, but the Packers — backed by Lambeau, late-season momentum, and revenge after the Bears’ previous 20–17 OT win — are primed to challenge the NFC leaders. A Green Bay victory elevates them into the division’s top spot; a loss drops their odds below 50%.

Fans can follow the action through Packers.com, ChicagoBears.com, NFL app updates, and team social channels. Highlights will be available on NFL+.

With playoff dreams hanging in the balance, Lambeau Field is ready for an NFC North showdown that could define the season for both franchises. Bears fans will be chanting “Bear Down,” Packers fans will defend the Frozen Tundra — and the winner may very well shape the NFC playoff picture

With the Risk That Travis Kelce Could End His Career After the Season, Chiefs Are Reportedly Ready to Pull Off a Blockbuster for a Young Tight End — the Player Legends Call “Tony Gonzalez 2.0” With an Irresistible Contract Offer

As the season enters its decisive phase, Travis Kelce’s future is starting to become a big question mark in Kansas City. Signs of decline, physical pressure, and age are forcing the Chiefs to think beyond the present. In that context, rumors about the team preparing to “make a move” for a young tight end Kyle Pitts — who is being compared to Tony Gonzalez — have quickly spread, like a historic transition. According to sideline sources, the name being mentioned is a young star at the tight end position — someone NFL insider Art Stapleton described as the type of player who could develop into “Tony Gonzalez 2.0” if placed in the right system. With his size, ability to separate, and play in open space, this player is seen as the ideal piece to inherit the iconic role Kelce will leave behind. What makes the story noteworthy is the possibility of the Chiefs approaching with a “sweetheart deal” — attractive in terms of role, system, and championship opportunities, more than just the numbers on paper. With Patrick Mahomes at the center, Kansas City believes they can unlock the full potential of Kyle Pitts in a way very few teams can. When asked about these rumors, head coach Andy Reid didn’t hide his excitement: “I always love tight ends who can do multiple things,” Reid shared. “Players with size, skill, and the right football mindset can change an entire offensive system. If there’s a chance to work with a talent like that in the future, I think any coach would be excited.” Those words were enough to fuel even more speculation. Though there’s no official confirmation yet, the message from Kansas City is quite clear: the Chiefs are preparing for the post-Kelce era. If “Tony Gonzalez 2.0” truly arrives at Arrowhead, it won’t just be a transfer deal — it will be a declaration that the Chiefs won’t let the tight end position become a weakness. With Andy Reid and Mahomes, that future sounds anything but distant.
