NFC North recap: Another coach fired, Bears extend division lead
Joe Nicholson-USA TODAY SportsThings started out weird for the Packers, who got out to an early 7-0 deficit and were immediately down to just one timeout remaining with 13:56 left in the first quarter after losing two quick challenges. It was easy to mock interim head coach, Joe Philbin, but in the end, he and his team got the job done.
Aaron Rodgers had a much better game than his previous two contests despite only 196 yards on the day. He’s only thrown one interception all year and hasn’t thrown a pick in his last nine games, which is remarkable. The Packers offense ranks seventh in DVOA, but it’s their defense and special teams that have been bringing them down.
