Final game history may be on Packers side in game against Bears
This could be great news for the Packers and not-so-great news for the Bears…
Since 1990, the Green Bay Packers are 18-5 (.783 winning percentage) in their final regular season game of the season. That is the best record in the NFL. The worst record? The Chicago Bears, who are 7-16 (.304 winning percentage) in their final game of the season from 1990-2012. The Packers have won their final game of the season 17 of 19 times since 1994.
