It has been almost six years since the Green Bay Packers last suffered defeat to the Chicago Bears.
The Packers' head coach that day? Joe Philbin, who stood in for the recently fired Mike McCarthy. Matt LaFleur was Sean McVay's offensive coordinator in Los Angeles, the Raiders still played in Oakland, Jordan Love was throwing touchdowns for Utah State, and the Bears hadn't even drafted Justin Fields.
Ted Lasso hadn't hit TV screens, video game fans still awaited the arrival of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, and the Event Horizon Telescope hadn't yet captured the world's first image of a black hole. That's right—scientists photographed a black hole more recently than the Bears' last victory over the Packers.
LaFleur is in his sixth season as the Packers' head coach, and he enters Week 11 with a perfect 10-0 record over the Bears. Sunday's opponents are in disarray, having fired offensive coordinator Shane Waldron just days before the game.
But this is the NFL, and anything can happen. How can you listen to the huge NFC North showdown?
