This past Sunday, November 16th, the 4-5 Green Bay Packers hosted the 5-4 Chicago Bears. It was a cloudy day with a high of 34 degrees, and yet the stadium was still jammed full of all the crazy cheeseheads. By the end of the first quarter, the score was 7-0 Green Bay on a 3 yard pass from quarterback Aaron Rodgers, to wide receiver Greg Jennings, and they wouldn't turn back after that.
After the first drive the Bears had in the
second quarter, which ended in a field goal, they would not score again, and they only made it past midfield 3 times. Two drives later, Green Bay running back Ryan Grant capped off a 7 play drive, in which he had 40 rush yards, with a 4 yard touchdown run to give the Pack a 14-3 lead. The offensive line of Green Bay absolutely demolished Chicago's defensive line, allowing Grant to gain 145 rush yards and the touchdown. They also allowed the rest of the running backs a total of 50 yards, totalling 200 yards on the day. The week before, against an undefeated Tenessee team, the Bears only allowed twenty rush yards. Then to end the half, Green Bay kicker, Mason Crosby, hit a 53 yard field goal ending the half a 17-3 Green Bay.

The killer though for the Bears was when they finally got into Green Bay territory since the field goal Kyle Orton fumbles the snap, and Packer defensive end Jason Hunter picked it up and ran it all the way back for a touchdown. The Bears got into Packer territory twice more, once which ended in a failed 4th down conversion, and the other which ended the game, the final score being 37-3.
The Packers now lead the NFC North, although it is still extremely close, as Green Bay, Chicago, and Minnesota are all 5-5. Green Bay leads on division record, since they are 3-1, and have head-to-head against Chicago. Also, the Detroit Lions are not only bringing up the rear in the NFC North, but also in the league, as they are league-worst 0-10.
