Players have not had much time to soak up the rivalry. The Packers and Bears both played games just 4 days ago, meaning less time for bruised bodies to recover and less time for coaches to gameplan.

From Lambeau Field to Halas Hall, everyone's been running off adrenaline this week.

"I don't think many of us players like it, other than the uniforms. We like changing up the uniforms a little bit, but physically you don't really have an opportunity to recover," said Randall Cobb, Packers Wide Reciever.

"It's part of it. We have to do this at least once a year. You just gotta grind through it. Obviously, it's a tough time for us because of the injury but we've been dealing with," said Aaron Rodgers, Packers Quarterback.
