The Bears started 7-1 but have seen their season spiral the last couple of weeks. Their lost to the Packers has put them in a hole with two games left and will likely leave them out of the playoff picture.
Aaron Rodgers threw three touchdown passes, all to James Jones to lead the Packers to a 21-13 victory. Rodgers had 291 yards through the air and finished with no turnovers.
Jay Cutler was not able to match Rodgers’ output. He had just 135 yards on only 21 pass attempts. He threw a touchdown to Brandon Marshall but had an interception as well.
After starting with 60 yards on 11 carries, Matt Forte fizzled for the rest of the game and finished with just 69 yards on 20 rushes.
Brandon Marshall had six receptions for 56 yards. Forte led the team with 64 yards through the air but no other receiver had a catch today for the Bears. Armando Allen was the only other player who caught a pass today.
The Bears will finish their season on the road traveling to Arizona and Detroit. They are not eliminated from the playoffs but will certainly need to win out and get some outside help to make it.
The Packers clinched the NFC North with their victory.
