    Green Bay’s defense just couldn’t keep Chicago’s offense on their own side of the field. The Packers had to blitz to generate any kind of pass rush, and even then it wasn’t too effective. The Bears first punt came 4 minutes into the third quarter.

    Depsite the final score, the Bears should not be happy with the way their offense performed. The lone touchdown they produced came early in the game off a nice playaction fake by Grossman that froze the entire linebacking corps and strong safety Marquand Manuel. That left Berrian running free behind the secondary and Grossman hit him in stride for an easy score.

    But after that, it was nothing but good drives ending in field goal attempts. And against this Packers defense, the Bears have to expect to be better.

    Mushin Muhammad was as steady as his stats indicated. And Des Clark was relied on heavily as well. He made some nice catches in traffic.

    The running game was mostly Thomas Jones, as Benson’s first carry of the game came half way through the third quarter.

    Targets/Catches:
    Muhammad - 6/7
    Clark - 5/8
    McKie - 4/4
    Berrian - 1/3
    Davis - 1/2
    Jones - 1/1
    Grossman - 1/1
    Benson - 0/2
