Game Day Guide
Last updated
For Packers fans heading to Lambeau for Bears week, the biggest practical choice is whether to arrive very early for the 8 a.m. pregame scene or time your trip around the stadium-opening window two hours before kickoff. The game is at 12 p.m. CT, and the Packers are also warning fans to expect heavy postgame congestion around the stadium. Use the free game-day buses if you want to avoid parking stress, or plan a drop-off at Shadow Ln and Frank St for easier access on foot. Inside the stadium, go light: every person needs a ticket, bags are tightly limited, and gates open two hours before kickoff. For pregame viewing, Titletown and Johnsonville Tailgate Village are the most useful nearby options. View Game Day Guide

Final
Final score and recap
Green Bay Packers 31, Chicago Bears 7
The Green Bay Packers defeated the Chicago Bears 31-7 on October 11, turning a seven-point halftime advantage into a 24-point Week 5 victory at Lambeau Field. Green Bay scored in every quarter, leading 14-7 at halftime before outscoring Chicago 17-0 in the second half. The box score points to two defining differences: a highly productive Packers passing game and five takeaways by the Green Bay defense. The offensive centerpiece was Jordan Love, who completed 25 of 31 passes for 367 yards and two touchdowns without an interception. His 80.6% completion rate, 11.8 yards per attempt and 137.5 passer rating reflect both accuracy and substantial production per throw. Love was sacked twice for nine yards, and he fumbled once, but Green Bay retained possession. Compared with Chicago’s combined quarterback line of 23 completions in 40 attempts for 195 yards, no touchdowns and three interceptions, the Packers held a pronounced advantage through the air. Christian Watson led Green Bay’s receivers with six catches for 143 yards and both of Love’s touchdown passes. He averaged 23.8 yards per reception and recorded a 53-yard long gain. Matthew Golden supplied another major downfield contribution, catching six of seven targets for 123 yards, including a 50-yard reception. Together, Watson and Golden accounted for 266 receiving yards, giving Love two high-output options rather than concentrating the passing production in one place. Tucker Kraft added reliability underneath and beyond, catching all five of his targets for 64 yards with a 46-yard long reception. Green Bay’s rushing production was less imposing, but it still contributed directly to the scoring. MarShawn Lloyd carried 10 times for 31 yards, an average of 3.1 per attempt, and scored two rushing touchdowns. Kaleb Johnson added 26 yards on seven attempts, with a 23-yard long run, while Pierre Strong Jr. was held to seven yards on five carries. The evidence from this game suggests the passing attack supplied the explosive yardage, while Lloyd’s two scores gave the ground game a meaningful finishing contribution. The defense’s turnover production was just as significant as Love’s efficiency. Xavier McKinney intercepted two passes and defended two, while Ty'Ron Hopper added an interception with a 20-yard return. The Packers also recovered two Chicago fumbles: Evan Williams had one recovery while making a team-high 12 tackles, and rookie Dani Dennis-Sutton recorded the other recovery along with a sack, two tackles for loss, two quarterback hits and a pass defended. Green Bay’s five takeaways came without a giveaway of its own. The Packers also generated pressure against both Chicago quarterbacks. Devonte Wyatt produced two sacks, two tackles for loss and two quarterback hits, while Dennis-Sutton and Brandon Cisse each added a sack. Chicago quarterbacks Tyson Bagent and Case Keenum were sacked twice apiece. Bagent finished 12 of 21 for 87 yards with two interceptions, and Keenum went 11 of 19 for 108 yards with one interception and a lost fumble. Those numbers help explain why Chicago did not score after the second quarter. Chicago’s lone touchdown came from D'Andre Swift, who rushed nine times for 43 yards and one score while adding four catches for 30 yards. Luther Burden III led the Bears with 47 receiving yards on four catches, while Rome Odunze caught three of nine targets for 40 yards and lost a fumble. Chicago did receive strong kick-return production from Zavion Thomas, who totaled 192 yards on six returns and had a long of 61, but the Bears’ offensive turnovers and limited passing efficiency remained prominent features of the final statistical picture. Green Bay’s special teams produced mixed results. Daniel Whelan averaged 55.3 yards on four punts, placed two inside the 20 and recorded a 75-yard long punt. Golden returned two punts for 27 yards, and Bo Melton gained 48 yards on two kickoff returns. The clear concern was place-kicking: Trey Smack made only one of three field-goal attempts, although he converted two extra points and made a 35-yard field goal. For Packers fans, the strongest takeaway is the complementary nature of the performance. Love protected the ball while producing 367 passing yards, Watson and Golden each surpassed 100 receiving yards, and the defense created five takeaways while holding Chicago scoreless in three quarters. The modest rushing averages and two missed field goals leave identifiable areas for improvement, but within this game the Packers’ advantages in quarterback play, explosive receiving production and possession security were reflected clearly in the 31-7 result.
- Jordan Love completed 25 of 31 passes for 367 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions, finishing with a 137.5 passer rating.
- Christian Watson and Matthew Golden combined for 12 receptions and 266 yards; Watson scored twice, and each receiver recorded a gain of at least 50 yards.
- Green Bay forced five turnovers, including two Xavier McKinney interceptions, while committing no giveaways and holding Chicago scoreless in the second half.
