| (MySportsbook) - Though the Green Bay Packers fell short in their quest for ultimate immortality, the reigning world champions still have the opportunity to achieve their No. 1 objective. For the Chicago Bears, their dreams of competing for a Super Bowl title have just about vanished due to an injury-induced long losing streak. For the first time in nearly a full calendar year, the Packers will attempt to bounce back from a loss when the NFC front-runners host the fading Bears in a Christmas night clash betwe |

Crennel's credentials got a big boost after Kansas City shocked the previously- unbeaten Green Bay Packers in the onetime Cleveland Browns sideline boss' first game in charge. Quarterback Kyle Orton, a free agent at season's end, also made his case to be retained by leading the offense to a season-high output in his initial start as a Chief. After being |
