The Chicago Bears-Green Bay Packers rivalry has not been in favor of the Bears in recent years, with the Packers dominating the matchup.
However, defensive end Montez Sweat is determined to change that narrative and shift the tide in the historic rivalry.
In a recent appearance on the “Green Light” podcast hosted by former NFL player Chris Long, Sweat made it clear that he is not willing to accept another loss to the Packers this year. “I’m letting you know right now, man, I’m not losing to Green Bay this year,” Sweat declared. “I can’t do it, I can’t do it, man. I’m not losing to Green Bay this year. We’ve created a real rivalry over there.”
Sweat emphasized that he has friendships with some of the Packers players, including Rashan Gary, which adds fuel to the already intense rivalry between the two teams. Despite starting his career in Chicago with a loss to the Packers in Week 18, Sweat is determined to lead the Bears to victory in upcoming matchups.
Green Bay’s dominance in the rivalry is evident, with the Packers winning 10 consecutive meetings and 17 out of the last 20 games. Changing this trend will be a challenging task, but Sweat is ready to embrace the challenge and help lead the Bears to success on the field.
As the Bears undergo a rebuilding phase, Sweat’s leadership and performance will be crucial in reshaping the team’s fortunes. Alongside the new quarterback, likely Caleb Williams, Sweat aims to spearhead the Bears’ resurgence and bring an end to Green Bay’s reign of dominance in the rivalry. Stay tuned for more updates on this evolving storyline.
