Red Light Sports Network   /     Packers host Bears on Thursday Night Football

Summary

The Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers will meet for the 193 time on Thursday night. Expectations are in different worlds for the organizations. The Packers have legitimate playoff hopes, while the Bears are looking to rebuild a team that can get back into the playoffs. Jay Cutler sustained an early season injury and Brian Hoyer has stepped in to produce some stability at quarterback.  The Green Bay Packers have suffered injuries at the running back position. Eddie Lacy is hampered by an ankle injury, James Starks had surgery and will miss up to four weeks. That left Aaron Ripkowski as the only healthy true running back. Ty Montgomery lined up in the backfield in Sunday's loss to the Dallas Cowboys. The injury to Eddie Lacy prompted Ted Thompson to trade for Kansas City Running Back Knile Davis.  The Green Bay Packers have every opportunity to come away with a win on Thursday, but the execution in each phase of the game will be the biggest key to victory. The Packers have not put together a complete game to this point, and fans are waiting for this potential playoff team to finds its groove. Listen in and call the show with your thoughts.
