The Bears now know when they’ll play this season’s final game. The NFL released its Week 18 schedule on Sunday, assigning this game against the rival Green Bay Packers a Sunday slot at noon.

The game will air on FOX.

This isn’t a huge surprise, considering how little is at stake outside the longstanding rivalry. The Bears were eliminated from the playoffs weeks ago and the Packers have already secured spot in the postseason.

The Bears still want to end the season on a high note, especially against a Packers team that has won 11 straight games in the series. Chicago lost a close one in Week 11, with a field goal attempt blocked that would’ve won the game had it gone through.

There isn’t much to play for, but the Bears insist a good effort’s in the offing.

“This is what we do for a living,” linebacker T.J. Edwards said. “We have to come back here with a good mindset, fixed what went wrong and keep doing what went right and find a way to get a win. It’s against Green Bay, in Lambeau. Those moments are what you dream about.”
