Wild swings and championship rings: the complete history of the Bears-Packers rivalry

Jack Silverstein chronicles the historic NFL rivalry between the Chicago Bears and the Green Bay Packers across multiple eras dating back to 1921. He argues that Bears fans are currently enduring the franchise's worst stretch in the rivalry after Green Bay took the all-time series lead in 2017 and expanded it to a 107-95-6 advantage.

The retrospective details pivotal early chapters of the matchup, including the Chicago Staleys' inaugural 1921 shutout and Green Bay's dominant response under Curly Lambeau. Silverstein outlines how Chicago regained dominance behind Hall of Famers Bronko Nagurski and Sid Luckman, who steered the Bears through multiple championship runs across the 1930s and 1940s.
