The Green Bay Packers were on their way to an easy win over the Chicago Bears, but they could not get much going after building an early 13-0 lead.  Aaron Rodgers didn’t have his best game, throwing for only 180 yards and no touchdowns on 16/24 pass attempts.  Fortunately for the Packers, they didn’t need a big game from Rodgers to beat the struggling Bears.  Running back Ryan Grant was able to handle most of the offensive load, running all over the Bears’ defense.  Grant got the Packers an early lead with a 67-yard touchdown run early in the first quarter, and had his second touchdown run in the 4th quarter to seal the victory for the Packers.  He finished with the two touchdowns and 137 yards on 20 carries.

The Packers defense did enough to get the win, but the Bears were able to find some success after the Packers built an early lead.  They let Jay Cutler throw two touchdown passes, although they did pick the Bears’ quarterback twice.  The Packers were also helped by the Bears and their penalties, 13 of them amounting for 109 yards.  Matt Forte rushed for only 51 yards, but he only had 12 carries (4.25 avg), which is well over his normal average of 3.3 yards per carry coming into this game.  They did enough to hold the Bears off though, and the win is all that matters.
