In the wake of Brett Favre's second unretirement, here's a look at those who have done Chicago wrong. Look for No. 2 on Thursday.
BRETT FAVRE
The first time the Bears played Favre, he didn't look that special. On Oct. 25, 1992, Favre was 20-for-37 for 214 yards with a touchdown and an interception as the Bears defeated the Green Bay Packers 30-10 at Lambeau Field.
But no player would be such a consistent Bears killer as the oft-retired Favre.
He led the Packers to 10 straight wins over the Bears from 1994 through 1998.
In '95, Favre threw five touchdown passes against the Bears at Lambeau and another three at Soldier Field, including a 99-yarder to Robert Brooks. Favre's Packers averaged 30.4 points per game against the Bears during that streak.
He also won seven straight games against the Bears from 2000 to 2003.
His 25 touchdown passes are the fourth most at Soldier Field, trailing only Erik Kramer (38), Jim McMahon (37) and Jim Harbaugh (28).
Now he'll have two more chances to stick it to the Bears this season.
Or maybe it's the other way around. Coach Lovie Smith is on his way to becoming Favre's nemesis. Favre was 20-4 against the Bears before Smith's hiring, but he's only 2-6 since.
