NFL shakes up Chicago Bears-Green Bay Packers game with surprising kickoff change
Share your love
The Chicago Bears are coming off an impressive victory, as last night they took down the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football. They were without QB Caleb Williams, as third-string QB Case Keenum had the game of his life in the victory.
This moves the Bears to 2-1, sitting tied for second in the NFC North. They’ll host the New York Jets next week, as they look to pick up their third victory.
After that, they’ll face off against their division rival Green Bay Packers in a game that was supposed to be played at 3:25 CST. That has now been moved to noon, according to the NFL, as the game was flexed for unknown reasons.

One wonders if this was a decision made earlier in the week, as the Bears will likely be without Caleb Williams again in Week 5.
Some could also speculate that the poor play by the Green Bay Packers was another reason. As of right now, the Packers sit last in the NFC North. They’re coming off a brutal loss at home to the Atlanta Falcons, where they were heavy favorites.
The Chicago Bears will need another big-time defensive performance against their rival Green Bay Packers
Defensively, the Bears looked as good as ever last night.
They shut down Saquon Barkley, pressured Jalen Hurts, and forced three turnovers in the victory. A massive step forward for a group that needs as much confidence as it can get.
“They continue to trend the right way,” head coach Ben Johnson said. “It’s great to see the takeaways. I thought that was huge for us, it really was. And I can’t say enough good things about the plan that DA (Dennis Allen) had in and the coaching staff coaching it up.”
When they face the Packers in a few weeks, it’ll need to be the same effort. Sitting at 1-2, Green Bay is in need of some victories, especially in an NFC North that features some tough teams.
