Packers just caught a massive break ahead of primetime clash with Bears

On Saturday, the Green Bay Packers will play the Chicago Bears in what could end up being a de facto NFC North championship showdown.

Chicago, at 10-4, currently sits atop the division, but the 9-4-1 Packers would move into the top spot with a win on Sunday. Considering the stakes, in addition to the classic rivalry between the two franchises, it's clear why the NFL put this game in primetime.

Green Bay defeated Chicago 28-21 just two weeks ago, but Saturday's game should be even tougher. The Packers did just catch a break, though, as the Bears will be without a couple of their top offensive playmakers.
