Green Bay Sets a Record Setting Victory Over Chicago Bears

Green Bay Packer’s Aaron Rodgers catches fire in a record-setting victory, finishing 39-of-56 for 326 yards and three touchdowns past the Chicago Bears 26-10 at Lambeau Field on Thursday.

“It’s fun to win,” said Rodgers, who set a blazing record, overtaking Brett Faver’s 36 against Chicago in 1993.

“Whether we throw it that many times or have to pound it a little bit more. I think this is closer to how we’re going to have to play moving forward, but I’m proud of the way we responded after the touchdown that put us behind,” he added.

Just 30 seconds into the third quarter, Rodgers eluded Chicago’s touchdown when he was sacked and stripped by a rookie. Leonard Floyd pounced on the loose ball in the end zone, giving Chicago 10-6 lead.

Rodgers would have to stop fumbling. It was his fourth fumble returned for a touchdown since week 16 of last season.

Maybe it was luck, but Rodgers was on fire from the point and capped the next three drives with blazing touchdown passes, which gave Green Bay (4-2) past Chicago (1-6).
Green Bay Packers’ coach Mike McCarthy said, “its one game. It’s a one-game victory.”

“And that’s really the reflection of how you plan for a season. You do what you have to do, you play how you have to play.”

Chicago Bears, QB’s Matt Barkley took over Brian Hoyer after he sustained an injury. His left arm got broken during the second quarter as Matt Barkley finished the game.

By the time Rodgers hit Randal Cobb for the third consecutive score, Barkley never stood a chance to stop advancing Green Bay. It gave them 26-10 on the scoreboard, 372-138 in yards, 75-36 in plays and 31-10 in first downs.

Bears coach John Fox said, “If you lose your starting quarterback, it can be disruptive.”
“It’s not an excuse. It’s just reality. When you play an explosive offense like Green Bay, it kind of helps to maybe be out there a little more offensively, which I think was a problem in the second half.”
