Chicago Bears linebacker TJ Edwards has a whole new meaning for “split household” when it comes to the Bears-Packers rivalry.

That’s because his wife is from the Green Bay area, where he will be playing for Chicago on Sunday.

“My wife’s from Green Bay, so this means a lot for me too because her whole family is, you know, Packer fans and stuff like that,” he told reporters Friday ahead of the game.

Edwards, who’s missed several games with hand and hamstring injuries, is expected to get back in uniform on Sunday at Lambeau Field.

The Bears and Packers share the oldest rivalry in NFL history, but the rivalry will take on added attention starting this weekend as the two teams face each other twice in three weeks.

The Bears come into Sunday’s game with a 9-3 record and the top seed in the NFC, marking the first time since the 2006 season that Chicago has been in the top spot in the NFC entering December. Of course, that same year the Bears reached the Super Bowl.

The Packers are coming into the game with an 8-3-1 record after beating the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving Day, leaving them just one-half game behind the Bears in the division standings.

The Bears lost the first game ever played at Lambeau field, on Sept. 29, 1957, and it’s been a tough place for them to play since. They are 25-41 all-time at Lambeau, and their record recently is not good.

The last time the Bears were able to win consecutive road games against the Packers was across the 2006 and 2007 seasons, when they won their third straight game at Lambeau over Green Bay.

They could do it again this weekend, after the team won the season finale in 2025 against the Packers at the venerable stadium, snapping an 11-game losing streak against their bitter rivals.

Needless to say, this weekend’s matchup will have plenty on the line.

Edwards said he knew what he was getting into when the two lovebirds met at University of Wisconsin-Madison.

“I already knew … what type of time they were on when I met them, but, I’m slowly, you know, converting them for sure,” he said.

So who will his in-laws be rooting for this weekend?

While Edwards said they’ll be wearing blue in his honor, their allegiance to the green and yellow may not be gone entirely.

“They go like blue jacket, but you gotta check the turtlenecks sometimes. Sometimes they got the green underneath, so I gotta check them, but it’ll be fun,” he said.

The Bears will take on the Packers Sunday, with kick off at 3:25 p.m. CT.
