A roundup of the latest Green Bay Packers articles for Sunday, November 18.

Good morning and welcome to the Packers News Report. It’s an important day in the NFC North. Tonight, the Chicago Bears host the Minnesota Vikings in a battle for first place. The Green Bay Packers have a lot of work to do to catch both of these teams.

At 4-5-1, Green Bay could fall a long way behind first place if the Bears win and improve to 7-3 tonight.

In some ways, a Vikings victory would actually be best, as it would put them into first place at 6-3-1. The Packers would still have an opportunity to make up the ground with victories over both the Vikings and Bears.

Let’s begin the Packers News Report. Here’s a roundup of the latest articles from around the internet.
