The Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Bears will clash in NFL Thursday Night Football tonight with the Packers hoping to gain a win to keep up pressure on the NFC North leading Minnesota Vikings. The game has a scheduled start time of 8.25 p.m. ET and takes place from Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The game can be watched on TV on the CBS and NFL networks or online through live stream via the link below.

Coming into today's game the Packers lie second in the NFC North with a very average 3-2 record. They are chasing the division leaders, the Minnesota Vikings, who are still undefeated on 5-0, and need the win keep in touch.

They face a Chicago Bears team in disarray - a team that enters Week 7 on 1-5 and all hopes of making the postseason already in tatters.

The Packers will be looking to bounce back from their poor game last week when they were demolished by the Dallas Cowboys 30-16. That was their second loss of the season, but they have a good chance to comeback tonight against the struggling Bears.

Chicago meanwhile looked like they had turned a corner last week, and were leading 13-0 against the Jacksonville Jaguars going into the fourth quarter. However, the Bears' season was summed up in what happened in the final quarter, as they allowed the Jaguars to score 17 points and snatch the victory away in a 17-16 game.

The way that loss went down will have knocked the stuffing out of this Bears team, and they are likely to have spent the short week since that loss trying to ensure the roster is not demoralized and keeping their heads up.

At quarterback, Aaron Rodgers has completed 109 of 181 attempts for 1,170 yards and 10 touchdowns. He has connected well with Jordy Nelson this season, with Nelson receiving 26 throws for 312 yards and five touchdowns.

Meanwhile, Brian Hoyer for the Bears has completed 130 of 189 throws for 1,396 yards and six touchdowns.
