The NFL's longest
played rivalry between Chicago and Green Bay took center stage Thursday night
at Lambeau Field. It was role reversal time for both teams from their opening
week performances as Green Bay
found a running game with Cedric Benson and the Bears couldn't move the ball
offensively.
Jay Cutler threw to Packers (4 interceptions) nearly as much as he did to his
own team (11 completions). The Green
Bay defense sacked Cutler seven times on the night.
Green Bay
played without number one wide receiver Greg Jennings (groin) but the Packers
offensive attack utilized nine receivers in the win.
Chicago:
Jay Cutler continued his struggles at Lambeau. He completed 11 of 27 passes
for 126 yards with one touchdown and four interceptions.
Matt Forte was injured early in the second half. He did finish the game
with seven carries for 31 yards and four catches for 49 yards.
Brandon Marshall was Cutler's
favorite target in Chicago's
opening game win. Marshall
was only targeted five times, catching two passes for only 24 yards.
Michael Bush spelled Forte in the
backfield rushing 14 times for 54 yards.
Tight End Kellen Davis was targeted
seven times catching one pass for a 21 yard touchdown.
Green
Bay:
Aaron Rodgers completed 22 of 32 passes for 219 yards, one touchdown and
one interception.
Cedric Benson accounted for 116
yards of total offense- 20 carries for 81 yards and four receptions for 35
yards.
Jordy Nelson caught six passes for
84 yards but failed to reach the end zone for the second straight game.
Jermichael Finley hauled in four
passes for 26 yards.
Donald Driver caught one pass for 26 yards and touchdown.
