The Chicago Bears will resume the oldest rivalry in the NFL on Thursday when they travel to Lambeau Field to take on the Green Bay Packers. This matchup may establish who is the favorite in the NFC North this year, after very different Week 1 performances for the two teams

The Bears won their opening game, 41-21, over the Indianapolis Colts, debuting a much improved offense, but the Packers will pose a much stiffer test. Green Bay may have lost their opener, 30-22, at home to the San Francisco 49ers, but they are still the reigning NFC North champions who went 15-1 in 2011. The Packers will be desperately fighting to avoid starting the season 0-2 at home and Aaron Rodgers has won five of his last six meetings with Chicago.

Game Date and Time: Thursday, Sept. 13, 8:20 p.m. EST

TV: NFL Network

Radio: WBBM-AM 780
