Jordan Love came up big in big moments and his teammates rose to the Bears challenge, sending the North Division rivals on a bitter, cold ride home back to the city of wind. Chicago asked to receive the ball after winning the opening coin toss, showing no fears of the Packer defense.

The Bears came out strong, getting four first downs while cutting through the Packers defense. But at the Green Bay 26-yard line on first down, Fields was sacked by Lucas Van Ness and Kenny Clark. Then on third and 13 the Bears set up a screen that looked like it had open field ahead.
