On Sunday at Soldier Field in Chicago, the Green Bay Packers and the Bears will play for the 182nd time. It will be their second postseason meeting.

Neither John Siegal nor Ed Frutig remembers much from the first. But they are thought to be the last surviving players who were there.

“Been that long?” Siegal said. “That is amazing.”

It was Dec. 14, 1941, a week after the attack at Pearl Harbor. Siegal was a two-way end for the Bears who caught a pass that day from Sid Luckman, his friend and teammate from Columbia. Frutig, a two-way end, too, caught three passes for Green Bay, two more than the future Hall of Famer Don Hutson.
