The Packers got a much-needed bounceback win against a team they are accustomed to defeating.
This is not your Davante Adams, Jordy Nelson, Greg Jennings or Donald Driver offense. It’s been a long time since the Packers’ best playmaker was a running back, not a receiver. Save for 2015, when Nelson tore his ACL and Eddie Lacy was still in his young prime, it hasn’t happened since Aaron Rodgers became the starting quarterback in 2008. The biggest difference Sunday night was simple: Matt LaFleur made much more of an effort to give the football to his best playmaker.
The Bears marched 71 yards on seven plays for a touchdown on their opening drive, taking their only lead of the night at 73. After that, the Packers defense allowed nothing. The Bears gained just 10 yards on their next five possessions, including four three-and-outs. The other drive ended because the first-half clock expired. It might have taken a bit for the Packers defense to play as advertised all training camp, but it finally reached that level.
