-----Welcome to the live blog of the Packers vs. Bears-------

Are you ready for this matchup? It's the Green Bay Packers versus the Chicago Bears for Week 15 as these two NFC Rivals go head-to-head and we have the live blog with play-by-play for those who can't see the action live.

The Packers are 9-4 and the Bears are 8-5. The math is simple and in favor of Green Bay. If they win, the push two games over the Bears and lock up the division since they take the regular season matchup having beaten the Bears earlier in the year 23-10.

For the Bears, it's an uphill battle. They haven't beaten the Packers in their last three matchups.

[Checkout our predictions for the game's oldes rivalry]

This matchup is for both the NFC North battle and the Wild Card spot for the Bears. The Washington Redskins and Dallas Cowboys trail the Bears in the NFC Wild Card by just a game as both squads go into Week 15 with a 7-6 record.

As of right now, the Bears have control of their own destiny. A win will keep them alive in the NFC North and put the pressure on the Cowboys and Redskins to get wins.

The Redskins are hobbling into Week 15 as they will be without their starting quarterback, Roger Griffin III. The Cowboys are a very inconsistent team. Had they closed out a few of their games, then they could have easily been in first place of the NFC East, but the New York Giants are the best team in that division so far.
