Packers have to look in the mirror after season-ending loss to Bears

Key Highlights

• Sometimes you need that,” McKinney said Monday.
• “It’s unfortunate, but sometimes you need a loss like that to be able to learn from it.
• That’s going to help us learn from our mistakes and what we can do better.”McKinney went on to point out that the Packers will see the Bears again.
• Obviously, losing to them in the postseason carries a little more weight, but the two teams may see each other again soon on a similar stage. Chicago has found its franchise quarterback in Caleb Williams and a talented offensive-minded head coach in Ben Johnson.
• Meanwhile, Green Bay will return many of its core players and is expected to try to work out a long-term contract extension with Matt LaFleur. However, returning a healthy amount of the roster doesn’t guarantee that the Packers will suddenly be the NFC North favorite in 2026.
