Boyd’s 1997 NFL Replay Game 87 – Week 7 – Green Bay at Chicago
World Champs sweep the Bears
In the longest rivalry in NFL history, the Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Bears squared off for the second time in 1997. Just like the Monday Night opener, the World Champions took it to their arch-rival as the Packers beat the Bears 31-19 in front of 62,212 fans at Soldier Field.
The Bears struck first on the second play from scrimmage. QB Eric Kramer connected with Ricky Proehl and he raced 83 yards for the game’s first score. Brett Favre and the Packers couldn’t be stopped though. They answered the Bears’ TD with a TD of their own when Favre hit Dorsey Levens for a 2-yd pass. The Packers were never really challenged after that.
Levens dominated the day. He ran through the Bears’ defense rushing for 101 yards and 2 TDs. He also caught five passes for 44 yards and the score. Antonio Freeman caught 8 passes for 107 yards and a TD.
The Packers and Bears both go into their bye weeks. The Packers will come off their bye and have a Super Bowl rematch with the New England Patriots at Foxboro. The (1-6) Bears will face another struggling team as they travel to Miami to take on the Dolphins.

Saints D dominates Bears in Prime Time!
The New Orleans’ defense has propelled the Saints to a 4-2 mark as they shut down the Bears on Sunday Night Football, 16-7, at Soldier Field.
DB Eric Allen picked off a Rick Mirer pass and dove into the end zone to give the Saints a 7-0 lead midway through the 1st quarter and that was the only TD the Saints needed. Doug Brien kicked 3 FGs the rest of the way to get the win.
The Saints’ defense held the Bears to only one score and 311 yards of total offense. The Saints also forced four Bear turnovers.
The Saints (4-2) will host Atlanta next week, while the Bears (1-5) face the World Champion Packers at Soldier Field.
