Nicholas Moreano identifies five Chicago Bears whose stock went up or down in the Week 5 loss to the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field.

The Green Bay Packers honored Chicago Bears Super Bowl-winning coach Mike Ditka with a moment of silence before the start of the Week 5 game at Lambeau Field. 

The Bears honored Ditka with a No. 89 decal on the their helmets. 

With emotions running high for the anticipation of this latest matchup in the historic rivalry, the Bears came out flat. Chicago punted on its first offensive possession. The Bears defense gave up a 42-yard touchdown on a 10-play, 91-yard touchdown drive. Chicago's offense responded with Tyson Bagent throwing an interception on the offense's second possession. 

Unlike the last two Bears-Packers games in the 2025 season when the Bears made comebacks in the second half, Green Bay continued its onslaught on Chicago, embarrassing their rival, 31-7.

There's plenty to get into following the Bears' embarrassing loss to the Packers.

Here are the five players who raised or lowered their stock in Week 5.

Stock Up: Austin Booker

(Don't worry, this is the only stock up in the article.)

The Packers started their final drive of the first half on their own 41-yard line with 39 seconds and two timeouts left. Green Bay had an opportunity to extend its lead before the half, but Booker shut down those plays. He sacked quarterback Jordan Love on first down, forcing a fumble, but Love recovered. 

Green Bay committed an illegal substitution penalty on the next play. On second-and-20, Booker sacked Love again to officially end the first half. 

He finished the game with five total tackles, three tackles for loss and two quarterback hits to go along with his two sacks. 

Stock Down: Tyson Bagent

The Chicago Bears' quarterback looked like a player who wasn't ready for the magnitude of this game. He lost his footing on the first drive of the game, leading to a sack. He threw an interception trying to target Luther Burden III, who was never open on the route. 

That same mistake showed up in the second half. Bagent tried to connect with Colston Loveland over the middle of the field, but safety Xavier McKinney easily intercepted the pass. 

Bagent floated passes and rarely threw with conviction. Bagent was benched in the fourth quarter for Case Keenum, who finished his first drive in the game with a red zone interception. 

Stock Down: Xavier Woods

The veteran safety committed the ultimate sin in a two-deep safety look. Woods allowed Packers wide receiver Christian Watson, Green Bay's top downfield threat, get behind the defense for a 42-yard touchdown reception. 

Coming into the game, Watson accounted for five of the Packers 13 passing plays of 20 yards or more. Watson has burned the Bears' in the past and he did so again on Green Bay's first drive of the game. 

Woods was a part of a defensive unit that allowed four passes of 40 yards or more, the most the Bears have given up in a game since at least 2000, according to the Athletic's Kevin Fishbain. 

Stock Down: Jaylon Johnson

The Bears' veteran cornerback ended up on a highlight, one that no defender ever wants to be a part of. 

Packers running back MarShawn Lloyd lowered his shoulder and ran over Johnson for a 7-yard touchdown -- a tone setting hit that looks worse on every rewatch. 

Johnson allowed wide receiver J. Michael Sturdivant to get behind him and caught the football int he end zone, but Sturdivant pushed off, negating the score. 

Johnson didn't help out rookie Dillon Thieneman on a 53-yard touchdown. Later on in the game, Packers receiver Matthew Golden beat Johnson for a 36-yard gain. 

Stock Down: Dillon Thieneman 

The Bears' rookie has had an impressive season up to this point, but that stopped in Week 5 at Lambeau Field. Thieneman found himself on the receiving end of a Watson highlight that Packers fans will replay for the rest of the year. 

On third-and-22, Watson caught a 53-yard touchdown pass over Thieneman's head. The rookie didn't have help from veteran cornerback Jaylon Johnson, but Thieneman was not even close to making a play on the football. 

On the Packers' missed field goal drive, Love connected with Matthew Golden for a 50-yard reception in the middle of the field. It appeared that Thieneman jumped another route, opening up the big play opportunity for the Packers' offense.
