The Green Bay Packers are 4-8, and the Chicago Bears are 3-9. A Sunday afternoon game between two struggling teams with records like these is unlikely to be a major broadcasting draw nationally; indeed, the week 13 contest between the two legendary franchises will appear on local television channels in only a small area of the United States.

Even despite the great rivalry, this game will be limited to the upper midwest thanks to FOX’s large number of games this week.
