‘They Got Lucky’ – NFC North Rival Questions Bears’ Big Win

Last year’s shocking Lambeau result still has tempers flaring ahead of another NFC North showdown.

The NFC North rivalry between the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers has always been fierce, but last season delivered a shocker that still has fans talking. For the first time since 2015, Chicago walked out of Lambeau Field with a win, stunning the Packers 24–22 in Week 18. That result ended a 10-game skid to their biggest rival and snapped an 11-game road losing streak. Now, one Packers starter is questioning whether that victory was earned at all.

Packers offensive lineman Rasheed Walker didn’t hold back during an appearance on Good Morning Football on the NFL’s YouTube channel.

In a clip shared by Kyle Brandt , Walker was asked about Chicago’s upset win and Caleb Williams’ claim about being undefeated at Lambeau. His response was blunt and included an extra jab about Chicago missing the postseason: ‘He got lucky, that’s all I got to say. They got lucky. Make the playoffs and we are going to see them again this year.’

“They got lucky. We’re gonna remember he said that.”

Last year’s game was anything but ordinary. Bears kicker Cairo Santos drilled a 51-yard field goal, as shown in a clip by Fox Sports NFL as time expired, capping a dramatic finish. The game also saw Packers quarterback Jordan Love exit in the third quarter with an elbow injury, a moment that likely shifted momentum.

Still, the Bears capitalized, ending years of frustration with a clutch performance in Green Bay.

As the 2025 season approaches, there’s no doubt this rivalry remains as intense as ever. Walker’s comments add fuel to an already raging fire, setting the stage for a heated rematch with plenty on the line.
