The Chicago Bears have been an absolute force to be reckoned with this season, but mostly in due part to their league-leading defense. Defensive end Akiem Hicks has been an extremely huge part of that success this season and has helped bring back a winning culture to Chicago. Hicks is very hyped for this week's upcoming matchup with the Green Bay Packers and posted a picture on Twitter for justification.

Hicks will bring forth the ferocious play style the Bears defense has played with all season. This matchup will be even more significant considering it's a division rival at the end of the season, and the Bears have not let up on any opponent for the entirety of the season.
The Bears are seeking revenge from their Week 1 matchup in which the Packers took their first matchup with a 24-23 win over Chicago. Hicks and the entire Bears roster have played with an entirely different fire this season after suffering a very disappointing 2017 season. New head coach Matt Nagy has brought a new innovative style to the offense, and defensive coordinator Vic Fangio has not missed a step all season in preparing the defense for battle each week.
Hicks and the rest of the Bears defense will have to build upon their impressive performance from last week after holding the Los Angeles Rams to a season-worst six points. The Packers have a very explosive offense as well, so Hicks will have to unleash his inner bear and keep quarterback Aaron Rodgers under a lot of pressure this upcoming Sunday.
