GREEN BAY — Six days after Packers Head Coach Mike McCarthy officially anointed Ty Montgomery a running back, the Packers’ budding weapon on offense put together a game for the ages.
In the fifth-coldest game in Soldier Field history, a sleeveless Montgomery carried the ball 16 times for 162 yards and two touchdowns on Sunday afternoon, propelling the Packers to 226 rushing yards and a 30-27 win over the Chicago Bears.
With veteran James Starks out with the concussion he sustained in a car accident this past week, the Packers’ running game fell on the shoulders of Montgomery and recently acquired Christine Michael.
