    Bears pass rusher Montez Sweat: 'I'm not losing to Green Bay this year'

    (670 The Score) Pro Bowl pass rusher Montez Sweat has only been part of one game between his Bears and the Packers, the most-played rivalry in NFL history.

    But that one game in Green Bay – a 17-9 loss for the Bears to the Packers – was enough to leave an impression on Sweat as he looks toward a more promising future in Chicago.

    "I'm letting you know right now, man, I'm not losing to Green Bay this year," Sweat told the Green Light Podcast with Chris Long. "I can't do it, I can't do it, man. I'm not losing to Green Bay this year. We've created a real rivalry over there."

    The Packers have dominated the rivalry recently and hold a 107-95-6 advantage in the all-time series. Chicago last beat Green Bay in December 2018 and has lost 10 straight games since.

    Sweat was acquired by the Bears in the middle of last season in a deal that sent a second-round pick to the Commanders. He then signed a four-year, $98-million contract extension with Chicago. Sweat led both the Bears (6.0) and Commanders (6.5) in sacks last season.

    Sweat has one career sack in four games against the Packers but came up empty in the season finale in Green Bay last season.
