Vikings at Packers Preview: The Hero This Rivalry Deserves

I was reminded of this line from Bane in The Dark Knight Rises last Sunday night. After the villain had broken Batman’s back and left him to rot in a pit, Bane was shocked to find that the Caped Crusader had returned to thwart his takeover of Gotham.

That must have been exactly how the Chicago Bears felt. After knocking Aaron Rodgers out of the game and taking a 20-0 lead in the third quarter, the future Hall of Fame quarterback returned and laid waste to any hopes of Chicago’s upset. Rodgers willed the Packers all the way back on one leg, making play after play as the Bears dissipated into an overly-conservative puddle.
