The Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears are set to square off in week 18 for the regular season finale. Lambeau Field will host the contest as Green Bay tries to put the final pieces together before the post season.
Chicago’s season will be over when the clock hits 0:00. Rookie quarterback Caleb Williams has had an up and down season so far in 2024. However, will he get a chance to try to beat Green Bay a second time?
Packers Fans Flood Bears Social Media After Huge Caleb Williams Decision For Week 18 (Report)
In preparation for Sunday’s season finale at Lambeau Field, interim coach Thomas Brown and his players returned to Halas Hall on Monday from a weekend off:
Interim coach Thomas Brown dismissed the idea that there’s nothing at stake in Week 18 for the Bears, who were eliminated from playoff contention long ago. For Brown, “competing and winning a football game” are high enough stakes to have all of his healthy starters — including quarterback Caleb Williams — play at Lambeau Field.
Brown said he and general manager Ryan Poles hadn’t discussed the idea of sitting Williams in the finale. He believes there’s still more to gain for Williams as he tries to grow into his “best self,” noting specifically the need for Williams and the Bears to find better ways to protect the quarterback. Williams was sacked seven times Thursday against the Seattle Seahawks.
“There’s an opportunity,” Brown said. “And I take that very seriously because opportunities aren’t guaranteed. And one thing I hate more than anything is wasting time. When time is gone, you don’t get it back. So I want to maximize every moment I have, and it’ll be the same thought process as far as this team and this game on Sunday.”
Of course, fans had something to say when they learned that #18 will suit up for Chicago:
