The Packers melted down in a game they should have won.  The Packers were winning 17-7 at halftime but they started to get away with what was working in the first half which was the running game.  Brett Favre completed 29 of 40 passes for 322 yards with 1 TD and 2 interceptions including a horrible one to Brian Urlacher that resulted in a TD a couple of plays later.  Rookie RB DeShawn Wynn was outstanding as he carried the ball 13 times for 78 yards (6.0 ypc) and a TD.  Vernand Morency also had a good game as he carried the ball 9 times for 43 yards (4.8 ypc) and he also caught 7 passes for 48 yards (6.9 avg).  Greg Jennings (4 rec, 83 yards, TD) and Donald Driver (4 rec, 51 yards) both had solid games.  But, rookie James Jones had a night to forget as he caught 5 passes for 61 yards but he lost two fumbles and they both hurt.  The Packers finished up with 121 yards rushing on 22 carries (5.5 ypc) and they also completed 29 of 40 passes for 318 yards.

The Packers defense played a pretty solid game for the most part.  Safety Atari Bibgy (9 tackles) and linebacker Nick Barnett (9 tackles, 1.5 sacks) led the way for the Packers defense.  The Bears finished up with only 82 yards rushing on 33 carries (2.5 ypc) and they also completed 15 of 25 passes for 203 yards.
