Can you name the Bears’ leading rusher the last time they eclipsed 200 rushing yards as a team at Lambeau Field?
Here’s a hint: The game took place on Sept. 25, 1988. The Bears won, 24-6.
The answer: Neal Anderson, who ran for 105 yards on 20 carries.
Matt Suhey (61), Thomas Sanders (38), Jim McMahon (18), Brad Muster (11), Dennis Gentry (6) and Glen Kozlowski (3) combined for another 137 yards.
Let’s dive into Week 5.
WEEK 5 PREDICTIONS
Adam Hoge (3-1) | Bears 27, Packers 17
I’m still a little worried about the Packers’ weapons even though they can’t block. And the Bears’ running back injuries matter too. Still, Ben Johnson will want to put the foot on the gas in this one. I expect more 11-personnel and points. Bears pull away.
Adam Jahns (3-1) | Bears 31, Packers 20
The Bears are road favorites in Green Bay for the first time since 2006 — and they’re starting their backup quarterback. Yes, some recalibration is still needed here. This truly is a new world. I get that the rivalry — and all the feelings that come with it — will be a factor in the game. But for how long? What if the Bears walk into Lambeau Field and just dominate?
Mark Carman (1-3) | Bears 31, Packers 15
The Bears are ascending. I am worried about the workload that was put on the offense last week. Neither D’Andre Swift nor Kyle Monangai will be 100 percent this week if they play. Open up the passing game. Put pressure on Jordan Love. Trust in Ben.
Patrick Norton (2-2) | Packers 17, Bears 16
The Bears are the better team — I’m confident in that assessment through four weeks. But you’re supposed to throw out the record books for rivalries like this one. There is a world where the Bears simply dominate on Sunday. I just don’t know if that’s the one we’re living in now. A backup quarterback for a third straight week, lots of wear and tear on the offensive side of the ball. Maybe Kyler Gordon returns, or Kyle Monangai plays. And perhaps I’ll regret this pick if those things happen.
Greg Braggs Jr. (3-1) | Bears 27, Packers 24
The Packers don’t look recognizable. Maybe the rivalry sparks Green Bay because their 2-2 start feels lifeless. Meanwhile, the Bears look red hot and full of life, energy and tenacity. I am genuinely curious if the Packers even want any part of the fight coming their way. I smell blood in the water. I bet Ben does, too. Green Bay puts up a fight but Tyson Bagent gives the Packers the DAGGER while Carm sobs tears of joy in the stands at Lambeau.
Stephen Nicholas (2-2) | Bears 31, Packers 17
The Bears have a chance to make it three straight wins and four of the last five against the Packers. To do it with a backup QB would be the chef’s kiss as the tide finally turns toward the Bears for the first time in my lifetime (I’m 33 years old).
Malik Muhammad is my x-factor. He should see plenty of Skyy Moore, who the Packers used all over the formation the past two weeks. When it’s not Moore, Muhammad could be matched up against his old Texas teammate, Matthew Golden. I’m going to side with the talented rookie who has a chip on his shoulder after being passed up by the Packers in the NFL Draft.
Bears make a statement. The North is ours now, and you can’t have it back.
Joey Christopoulos (3-1) | Bears 34, Packers 17
Bears. Packers. The pendulum is ready to swing and swing hard on this “rivalry” towards the Da Side of Da Bears. But banged-up RBs. Backup QB. And yet, Ben Johnson. Going conservative on this, but the Bears grind out a tough win vs. a reeling wheel of cheese. The point total hits that under and Bagent prevails, 27-14
Corey Wootton (2-2) | Bears 31, Packers 14
Bears continue to run the rock and this week capitalize on the red zone opportunities. Packers are a wounded team. Time to put them away!
Jerry Azumah (2-2) | Bears 31, Packers 17
Lance Briggs (2-2) | Bears 156, Packers 3
(Editor’s note: that’s the real score Lance sent us. No typos.)
