In a blockbuster offseason swap, Green Bay added Micah Parsons from Dallas in return for two first-round picks and Kenny Clark. Chicago answered by upgrading the line with Drew Dalman, Joe Thuney and Jonah Jackson, setting the stage for a fierce NFC North rivalry as Week 14 at Lambeau approaches. Dalman’s outlook centers on one-week-at-a-time focus while facing Parsons looms large.

Between Parsons’ disruptive edge and Chicago’s revamped interior, the Bears’ protection game and run approach could reshape the NFC North landscape. Rosters will be evaluated well before their next big clash, underscoring a season’s winding arc toward Green Bay-Chicago clashes.
