Very few duos in sports history have dominated a single city like Giannis and Rodgers have dominated Chicago. The numbers over the years are absolutely ridiculous. Here is a closer look:
Aaron Rodgers vs Bears:
- Passer Rating: 109.2
- 6,549 passing yards
- 61 touchdowns
- 10 interceptions
- 23-5 career record
- .821 winning percentage
- Three straight season series sweeps (2019-2021)
- Most wins by a Packers QB vs the Bears all-time with 23 (Favre has 22)
- Rodgers lost just 4 times during the entire 2010s decade (one of those losses he only played the first drive after getting hurt)
- Most touchdown passes vs Bears in a single game (6 in 2014)
Giannis Antetokounmpo vs Bulls:
Giannis’ stats vs Chicago seem pedestrian at first, but taking a little closer look, it’s pretty remarkable.
- Overall record: 19-12
- 22.1 points per game
- 9.5 rebounds per game
- 4.9 assists per game
Not bad numbers whatsoever, however, not the numbers you’d expect from the two time MVP and NBA Champion. However the 2015-16 season Giannis became a full time starter. That year he averaged more than 10 field goal attempts per game for the first time in his career. Since the 2015-16 season Giannis vs the Bulls:
- Overall record: 17-6
- 27.5 points per game
- 11 rebounds per game
- 6 assists per game
However the real dominance started the next year. Since the 2016-17 season Giannis has done this to the Bulls:
- Overall record: 16-3
- 28.4 points per game
- 11.9 rebounds per game
- 5.9 assists per game
Giannis is currently on a TWELVE GAME win streak vs Chicago dating back to the 2018-2019 season. He literally has not lost to Chicago since 12/26/2017.
Giannis and Rodgers combined vs Chicago (total):
- Overall record: 42-17
- Total winning percentage: .711
- 2 world championships (Chicago Bears/Bulls have none in that time span)
- 6 total MVPs (Chicago Bears/Bulls have none in that time span)
Giannis and Rodgers combined vs Chicago since 2016:
- Overall record: 26-3
- Winning percentage: .896
Giannis and Rodgers combined vs Chicago since 2018:
