"It's just another opportunity to come out and compete," McCown said in anticipation of taking over for second-string moncler jackets quarterback Caleb Hanie.

McCown, who last started a game in 2007 for Oakland, signed a one-year contract with the Bears on Nov. 23. He played for Bears offensive coordinator Mike Martz in Detroit in 2006. From 2002 to 2009, McCown threw 35 TD passes and 41 interceptions for four different NFL teams.

"You have a job to do and that's to go play football and help your team win," McCown said. "For me, absolutely it's a cool story and a cool moment, but at the same time I'm a competitor. I want to win the game and I want to do right by the coaches and the other 52 guys in that locker room. It will be exciting for a little bit, but we've got to get down to business."

The Bears would have to win their final two games and Atlanta would have to lose its final two games for Chicago to make the postseason. The Bears wrap up their season at Minnesota on Jan. 1, while Atlanta hosts Tampa Bay in its finale.

Hanie threw nine interceptions during his four starts in place of the injured Jay Cutler, so limiting turnovers was a major objective for McCown entering the Christmas night contest.

"Whoever the coaches give the go-ahead to is the guy we're running with," Bears running back Kahlil Bell said.

"(The Packers) have a lot of guys over there who are really good defensive players, a lot of Pro Bowl players over there, but protecting the football is part of the game, it's the name of the game. The team that wins the turnover battle is usually the team that is going to win the game. So we've stressed it all year, we have to take care of the football."

The Bears also were without leading rusher and receiver Matt Forte, who suffered a knee injury against Seattle in Week 15.

The Bears' inactives were Nathan Enderle, Marion Barber, Levi Horn, Andre Smith, Anthony Adams, Matt Forte and Cutler.

The Packers' cheap moncler men vest medleys shiny puffy black inactives were Graham Harrell, Frank Zombo, Davon House, Bryan Bulaga, Chad Clifton, Ryan Pickett and Greg Jennings.
