     were ejected before the end of the first half as verbal exchanges led to punches being thrown. Two years later, Hanny was ejected once again in a game versus Green Bay.
  • Packers 7, Bears 0 (September 28, 1930) – The Packers shut out the Bears for the fifth consecutive game in this contest which is the longest such streak in the series. The streak began in 1928 when the Packers defeated the Bears 6-0 on December 9 of that season. In 1929 the Packers shut out the Bears three times, 23-0, 14-0, and 25-0 en route to their first NFL championship. Later that season, on November 9, the Bears would finally score on the Packers although they came up short in the final score 13-12. The Packers would go on to win their second consecutive NFL title that season.
  • Packers 16, Bears 14 (November 2, 1941) – The Bears came into the game undefeated and seemingly invincible. Over their first five games, they defeated their rivals by an unprecedented 157 points. However, the Packers upset them in this game which would be the Bears lone defeat that season. The Associated Press deemed the game as the "Chicago Bears Myth is Broken". Chicago fans made accusations that the game had been fixed, and it was suggested that the Packers had employed a "secret" defensive scheme. The Packers had built a 16-0 lead through the first three quarters of play before the Bears mounted a comeback in the fourth quarter coming up just short of a win.
  • Bears 33, Packers 14 (December 14, 1941) – In the first playoff meeting between these two rivals, the Bears defeated the Packers 33–14 in a one-game-playoff to determine the Western Division championship. After the Packers, the Bears defeated the New York Giants

    ' Bears, 49-0 at City Stadium, the Packers largest margin of victory in the rivalry. Strangely, the team repeated that exact score against the Eagles six weeks later on Nov. 11, 1962. The games remain a Packers team record for most points in a shutout victory. After again humiliating the Bears later in the season, this time by a score of 38-7, the Packers would go on to win their 8th NFL championship. Motivated by the two humiliating losses to the Packers, Halas would spend the off season focusing on beating the Packers. In 1963, the Bears handed the Packers their only two losses, and would themselves win their 8th NFL championship.
  • Packers 23, Bears 12 (September 13, 1964) – Remembered as the "Free Kick Game" because the Packers invoked the surprising "Fair catch kick

He said he'd rather not hear what I had to say, something to that effect, and he left." Two years later, Bill Tobin, the Bears' vice president of player personnel at the time, revealed that he had been instructed by general manager Jim Finks during the off-season to study film and decode the Packers' signal system for relaying plays to the quarterback. Tobin, who had been in the Packers' front office during the Devine years, had been fired by Starr in 1975 as part of a wholesale housecleaning.

Playoffs

The Bears and Packers have made it to the playoffs in the same year only 4 times.
  • 1941 The Bears would go on to win the championship early on in the rivalry. This was also the only playoff game in which the two teams had played against each other until the NFC Championship game of the 2010 season.

  • 1994 Both teams won first round games only to be knocked out in the second round games, seeing the 49ers go on to win the Super Bowl.

  • 2001 The Bears had a first round bye but the Packers were the only one of the two teams to win a playoff game this year. The Packers had also given the Bears 2 of their 3 regular season losses that season. The Bears were knocked out at home by the Eagles while the Packers lost to the eventual Super Bowl runner-up Rams.

  • 2010 The two teams met on the last day of the season in what was a must win for Green Bay. The Packers won to capture the last wild card spot, while the Bears had already secured a first-round bye. Green Bay clinched a trip to the NFC Championship by virtue of a 21-16 win over Philadelphia in the Wild Card round and then defeating Atlanta, 48-21, in a divisional playoff. The Bears defeated Seattle in the other divisional playoff, 35-24. Both teams advanced to the NFC Championship game, only their second playoff game against each other. Many fans of both teams describe the game as the biggest in the history of the rivalry, with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line. The Packers would ultimately prevail 21-14 and go on to beat the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XLV.

Statistics and records

As of September 25, 2011, there have been 183 games between the two teams—most in NFL history—since their first league game in 1921, of which the Bears have won 92 and the Packers 85. The largest margin of victory was a 61–7 Bears win on December 7, 1980.
