Packers vs. Bears Wild Card Game Discussion

It’s time. Green Bay Packers vs. Chicago Bears, Round III is about to start, and with it the right to advance to the NFC Divisional Playoffs. These two teams know each other all too well, having split their two regular season meetings late in the season, and it should be a great game this evening at Soldier Field.

The Packers are a bit fresh on the health front, having rested most of their starters in a meaningless Week 18 game. Chicago played their key players in a loss to the Detroit Lions, but they get some reinforcements this week as well off the injured list, with wide receiver Rome Odunze and cornerback Kyler Gordon playing.

Both games earlier this year were separated by a touchdown or less and both came down to the wire. Keisean Nixon’s interception in the end zone sealed a 28-21 win for the Packers at Lambeau Field in Week 14, then the Bears mounted a late comeback for a 22-16 overtime win at Soldier Field 13 days later.

Will late-game heroics be needed again tonight? There’s only one way to find out. Tune in and join us in the comments to discuss tonight’s game, and let’s cheer the Packers on to a victory in just the third playoff meeting between these two historical rivals.

Packers Snap Counts: Trevon Diggs played 1 snap vs. Bears

I’m pretty much non-verbal after watching the Green Bay Packers choke away a second straight game to the Chicago Bears (and they tried to do it three times). Here’s a quick rundown of the team’s snap counts. If I have something to say about it, it’s noted. No full breakdowns this week.

Quarterbacks​

• 64 snaps: Jordan Love
• 0: Malik Willis

Running Backs​

• 41: Josh Jacobs
• 16: Chris Brooks (14 SPT)
• 13: Emanuel Wilson (4 SPT)

Receivers​

• 51: Christian Watson
• 47: Romeo Doubs
• 43: Jayden Reed
• 31: Matthew Golden
• 3: Isaiah Neyor

Tight Ends​

• 51: Luke Musgrave
• 22: Josh Whyle (6 SPT)

Offensive Linemen​

• 64: Aaron Banks (5 SPT)
• 64: Anthony Belton (5 SPT)
• 64: Rasheed Walker (5 SPT)
• 64: Jordan Morgan (5 SPT)
• 61: Sean Rhyan (5 SPT)
• 3: Lecitus Smith
• 2: Darian Kinnard (5 SPT)
• 0: Jacob Monk (2 SPT)

The offensive line was Rasheed Walker, Aaron Banks, Sean Rhyan, Anthony Belton and Jordan Morgan from left to right. Backup center Jacob Monk was injured on field goal protection, and starter Rhyan was injured in the fourth quarter, costing the Packers a 10-second runoff. Lecitus Smith played center for the last three plays of offense. Darian Kinnard’s two snaps came at tight end, one of which he caught his first pass of the season and fumbled.

Defensive Ends​

• 50: Kingsley Enagbare (8 SPT)
• 44: Lukas Van Ness (5 SPT)
• 44: Rashan Gary
• 28: Barryn Sorrell (6 SPT)
• 4: Brenton Cox Jr.
• 0: Arron Mosby (19 SPT)

Defensive Tackles​

• 43: Karl Brooks (10 SPT)
• 32: Colby Wooden (5 SPT)
• 25: Warren Brinson (5 SPT)
• 17: Jonathan Ford (3 SPT)
• 13: Nazir Stackhouse

Linebackers​

• 75: Quay Walker (5 SPT)
• 43: Isaiah McDuffie (19 SPT)
• 43: Edgerrin Cooper (6 SPT)
• 6: Ty’Ron Hopper (14 SPT)
• 0: Nick Niemann (14 SPT)

Nick Niemann did not officially get a snap, but was the player in coverage who was scored on for the two-point conversion in the fourth quarter. The Bears played heavy personnel on that play, with extra offensive linemen and tight ends on the play. The Packers matched it with their goal-line defense, with extra linebackers, which put Niemann on the field following Edgerin Cooper’s injury. In normal defensive situations, Cooper was replaced by Isaiah McDuffie, the team’s usual third linebacker in 4-3 looks, who was backfilled by Ty’Ron Hopper.

Cornerbacks​

• 75: Keisean Nixon (11 SPT)
• 75: Carrington Valentine
• 1: Trevon Diggs
• 0: Shemar Bartholomew

The Packers finally used Keisean Nixon as their returner in this game, showing the world that their preferred returners, when the game is on the line, are Nixon and running back Josh Jacobs. This team is not trying in the return game in the regular season.

Also, Trevon Diggs only played one snap the entire game, defense or special teams.

Safeties​

• 75: Xavier McKinney (9 SPT)
• 74: Evan Williams (11 SPT)
• 57: Javon Bullard (5 SPT)
• 1: Kitan Oladapo (14 SPT)
• 0: Johnathan Baldwin (9 SPT)

Evan Williams missed one snap and was replaced by Kitan Oladapo on the play.
