Packers overcome cold, late rally to beat Bears 30-27 (The Associated Press)

CHICAGO (AP) -- It wasn't the 1967 Ice Bowl between Green Bay and the Dallas Cowboys, or even the coldest game ever played at Soldier Field.

Yet, both the Chicago Bears and Packers withstood harsh conditions, and Green Bay came up with the victory Sunday.

Aaron Rodgers hit Jordy Nelson with a 60-yard pass and Mason Crosby kicked a 32-yard field goal as time expired to lift the Packers to 30-27 victory on a day when the game-time temperature was 11 and the wind chill minus-4.

''I think we watched The Weather Channel all week and the wind wasn't quite as bad as we thought, and I was very thankful the sun was out and that made it more manageable,'' Packers coach Mike McCarthy said.
