You've probably heard it ad nauseam all day: "We've got a defense," said Aaron Rodgers after the Packers upset the Bears 10-3 in the season opener in Chicago on Thursday night.
Rodgers is probably the happiest person in the state of Wisconsin right about now. That win validated to him that he doesn't have to throw for 270 yards and three scores in order for the Packers to win. The best defense on the field was supposed to be Chicago with Khalil Mack as the best player on that side of the ball. Green Bay allowed just 46 yards on the ground and halted Chicago to just 3-for-15 on third down.
