The Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears have been playing professional football games against each other since 1921, and neither team had produced a win streak over 10 games in the 103-year history of the rivalry.
That all changed Sunday.
Thanks to a go-ahead touchdown run from Jordan Love and a blocked field goal from Karl Brooks, the Packers extended their win streak over the Bears to 11 games and set the new record for longest win streak in the NFL’s longest-running rivalry.
The Bears looked primed to snap the streak and get their first win in the rivalry since 2018, but Brooks got just enough of Cairo Santos’ 46-yard field goal attempt as time expired on Sunday to preserve a 20-19 victory at Soldier Field.
At 10 straight wins over the Bears, the Packers had tied the record set by the Packers between 1994 and 1998. Now, the record stands alone at 11 straight games between 2019 and 2024.
Packers coach Matt LaFleur, who was hired in 2019, has never lost to the Bears. He’s now 11-0.
The Packers will host the Bears in the season finale at Lambeau Field on Jan. 5 with a chance to run the win streak to 12 games. The NFL record for win streak over a single opponent is 20 games, set by the Miami Dolphins over the Buffalo Bills.
