The Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears have one of the oldest rivalries in all of professional sports. Of course, the rivalry has been rather one-sided as of late. Packers head coach Matt LaFleur, who took over in 2019, has never lost to the Bears, holding a perfect 10-0 record against them. Green Bay leads the all-time series against Chicago with a record of 107-95-6.
Of course, the Packers’ previous two quarterbacks before Jordan Love, Hall of Famer Brett Favre and future Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers, are responsible for much of the last three decades’ worth of dominance over their rivals to the south. Favre had a career record of 22-10 against Chicago during his time in Green Bay and Rodgers was an incredible 24-5.

Former Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb is himself very familiar with Green Bay’s rivalry with Chicago. Having spent 10 seasons with the Packers (divided in two different stints), he certainly does not have much love for the Bears.
During the Packers’ broadcasted their annual Family Night scrimmage, a practice held at Lambeau Field that drew tens of thousands of fans on Saturday night. During the broadcast, Cobb was brought on as a special guest.
During his segment, Cobb was asked what he thought of the improvements that the Bears have made over the offseason. The former Packers Pro Bowler is not impressed. “They were a joke for a long time. And I think they’ll continue to be a joke,” Cobb said.
Will The Green Bay Packers Continue to Dominate the Chicago Bears?
There is no denying that the 2024 Bears, at least on paper, are a vast improvement from the teams they have put out on the field in recent seasons. Over the course of the last few months, Chicago has added Pro Bowl wide receiver Keenan Allen as well as two top 10 picks from the 2024 NFL Draft: quarterback Caleb Williams and wide receiver Rome Odunze.
The Packers, meanwhile, have completely reinvented their defense with new defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley. Green Bay also signed the 2022 NFL rushing leader, Josh Jacobs, in free agency.
2024 will certainly be a whole new chapter of the historic rivalry with Chicago entering the Williams Era, but it is hard to predict whether they have done enough to defeat an opponent that they have lost 10 straight meetings to.
Cobb certainly thinks they have not done enough.
