NFL Schedule & Scores 2013: Monday Night Football November 4 Preview - First Place Packers To Face Division Rival Chicago Bears
The Chicago Bears would be tied for first with a win tonight against division rival Green Bay Packers, but there is a catch: The game is at Lambeau Field, which is one of the most difficult places to win on the road.
The 4-3 Bears are hoping to not only put an end to the Packers' five-game win streak but the squad also hopes to put an end to a six-game losing streak against Green Bay. The Packers know that the Bears have suffered some key injuries so far this season, such as when the team lost Jay Cutler and Lance Briggs, but coach Mike McCarthy isn't about to let his team think they have it easier against the backups.
"We need to prepare and stay focused on our opponent and the changes they've made," McCarthy said to the Packers' official website. "At the end of the week, we want to make sure we're focused on winning and that our quality of play is as high as possible."
The Packers will be lined up against a Bears' offense with a great deal of potential despite any injuries so far. Bears' running back Matt Forte enters the game with 533 yards on the ground to lead Chicago's rushing attack while Bradon Marshall has five receiving touchdowns on the year.
On the other sideline, the Packers are again a talented bunch offensively. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers has 15 touchdowns as opposed to only 4 interceptions while Jordy Nelson has 39 catches and 7 touchdowns this year while racking up 649 yards receiving.
"We've got a great team, very well-coached," Rodgers said according to ESPN. "Guys are ready to play."
Kickoff is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. ET on ESPN.
