The Chicago Bears<\/a> will battle the Green Bay Packers<\/a> in the wild card playoffs on Saturday night, where Chicago is looking for its first postseason win since 2011.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Bears<\/a>\u00a0are coming off a disappointing 19-16 loss to the Detroit Lions<\/a>, where Chicago came out flat for three quarters on offense. Of course, they found a way to march back in the fourth quarter, thanks to a pair of Caleb Williams touchdown drives, but it was too little too late. The Bears<\/a> defense also continued to struggle, whether it was against the run or in coverage. It wasn’t the way Chicago wanted to stroll into the postseason.<\/p>\n

Chicago is a 1.5-point home underdog heading into Saturday night’s matchup against Green Bay, according to BetMGM. The over\/under is set at 44.5.<\/p>\n

Here’s a look at the Bears’ 53-man game-day roster heading into their wild-card game vs. Packers:<\/p>\n
