As the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers got ready for their NFC Wild Card game on Saturday, tempers were running high. The two teams had to be separated at midfield prior to kickoff at Soldier Field.

Saturday’s playoff game marks the third time the two rivals will play in just over a month. The Packers won the first game at Lambeau Field and the Bears got the victory last time out at Soldier Field on a walk-off touchdown pass from Caleb Williams to DJ Moore .

Now, the two teams are preparing for the rubber match, but with plenty at stake. The winner advances to the Divisional Round of the postseason while the other goes home. It’s safe to say, both teams are fired up as the rivalry heads to the playoff stage for just the third time ever.
