The Packers' Voodoo Curse Has Been Broken: Can the Bears Finally Take Down Their Rivals?
The Chicago Bears finally broke the Green Bay Packers' alleged voodoo curse, winning their highly anticipated NFL playoff matchup against the Packers at Soldier Field. The Packers had dominated the rivalry for years, but on Saturday night, it was the Bears who came out on top.
The win marked a long-awaited change of fortunes in a rivalry that has been as closely matched as the number of poppy seeds and bratwurst sausages served at a Packers game. Over the past three-plus decades, the teams have played 212 times, with the Packers winning an impressive 109 games to the Bears' 97.
But this season is different. The Bears have finally assembled the pieces they need to make a deep playoff run. Quarterback Caleb Williams has been a revelation, displaying pure talent that could make him a superstar. Coach Ben Johnson has done an excellent job in his debut season, and General Manager Ryan Poles has made some savvy moves.
Meanwhile, the Packers are looking uncertain. Aaron Rodgers' departure from the team left a void that is still being filled. The new quarterback, Jordan Love, showed promise but struggled to make an impact on Saturday night.
For years, Bears fans have had it easy, with the Blackhawks and Bulls dominating their respective sports scenes. But now, there's finally hope that the city will see its football team win a championship in the near future.
As Packers radio play-by-play man Wayne Larrivee said earlier this season, "Unbelievable" - those were his words after the Bears celebrated a walk-off touchdown against the Packers. Now it seems like the whole city is going to have to eat that phrase every day for years to come.
But let's not get ahead of ourselves. This was just one win in a long and grueling playoff journey, and there are still many challenges ahead. Can the Bears finally put the curse behind them? Only time will tell.
One thing is certain: the 2025 NFL season has changed everything. The sense that an era of payback has begun to take shape has been building for years, but this win marks a turning point. For one night at least, the Packers were just another team in the league, and not the mighty green machine they've become synonymous with.
The rivalry may have been evenly matched for years, but now it's time to see who comes out on top. Will it be the Bears? Or will the Packers revert back to their old ways and leave Chicago wondering what could have been?
Only one game at a time.

I'm telling you, this win is just the tip of the iceberg for the Bears! Caleb Williams is a total game-changer, and if he can stay healthy, they're gonna be unstoppable 
. The Packers are still trying to figure out who's behind Aaron Rodgers, but it's clear they're not as dominant as they used to be 
. The curse might have been broken, but the real test is coming soon - playoffs against the likes of the Ravens and 49ers 
. Can't wait to see how this all plays out!

I'm loving this turn of events! The curse is finally broken, and now everyone's expecting the Bears to take down the Packers... 
Caleb Williams is looking fire 
. One game won't define an entire season... yet.
I'm loving this Bears win! It's about time they broke that voodoo curse 
and Ben Johnson is doing an amazing job as coach 
. The Packers' situation looks pretty uncertain with Rodgers gone 
.
. I think the Bears have finally assembled a team that can take down their rivals 
. They've got the talent, coaching and GM know-how to make a deep playoff run 
!
. I'm loving this new era of the NFL and how it's bringing back the competitive fire 
and Ben Johnson's coaching skills are on point! 
. But man, it feels like an era has changed for Chicago sports fans! 
all along. The Bears were always the better team, they just needed to find the right coach and QB to match Aaron Rodgers' level of greatness. Caleb Williams is no match for AR12 
. Bring on the playoffs, I want to see what these guys are capable of! 
The Data Dumper here! 
Caleb Williams' performance on Saturday night was 
3 INTs in a single game? 
That's gotta count for something, right?
. And let's be real, Packers fans have had it easy for too long 
. Now we've got a team that can bring home some hardware too. The curse is broken and I couldn't be happier about it 
u think the bears r gonna put the curse behind them? 
. That kid's got skills. Ben Johnson's coaching job isn't bad either. And I guess Ryan Poles made some decent moves.
