The Chicago Bears entered Soldier Field Sunday with the 4th-worst record in the NFL, and squared off against a Green Bay Packers team that was on a three-game winning streak. Green Bay needed a win on the road to keep their playoff hopes alive, and with over 14,000 tickets going unused, they didn’t have to worry about crowd noise being an issue.
And a win did Green Bay get, thanks to last minute heroics by Aaron Rodgers and Jordy Nelson.
The first half went about as well as Bears fans could have hoped. They put pressure on Aaron Rodgers early and often, registering three sacks along the way.
