Packers LB Clay Matthews owns the Chicago Bears offensive line
Four-time Pro Bowl linebacker Clay Matthews of the Green Bay Packers has more sacks against the rival Bears than any other team he has faced in his career. Though it’s not a surprise that his highest output would come against a divisional foe given the volume of games, Matthews is on nearly a sack-per-game pace against Chicago. That dwarfs his output against non-division foes.
| Team | Games | Sacks |
|---|---|---|
| Bears | 8 | 7.5 |
| Lions | 8 | 6.0 |
| Vikings | 8 | 7.0 |
| All others | 48 | 30.5 |
| Totals | 72 | 51 |
So it’s no wonder Matthews is looking forward to Sunday’s game at Soldier Field.
“They’re fun games to play, and I think more so just talking from the fan aspect of it, the fans hate you,” Matthews said Friday after the team announced he was listed as probable for Sunday’s game. “That’s something to thrive on when you play on the road. It’s always fun to play opposing stadiums, but at the same time get a victory, because that makes it more fun.”
