A roundup of the latest Green Bay Packers articles for Monday, October 15.

Good morning and welcome to the game day edition of the Packers News Report. Tonight, the Green Bay Packers host the San Francisco 49ers in their final game before their bye week.

The NFC North remains wide open, and a win tonight would keep Green Bay right in the mix.

On Sunday, the Chicago Bears’ three-game win streak came to an end as they lost in overtime to the Miami Dolphins. The Bears remain in first place of the NFC North with a 3-2 record. The Minnesota Vikings beat the Arizona Cardinals at home, improving to 3-2-1.
