Packers

The Chicago Bears lost another game against the Green Bay Packers, and now fade further back in the rivalry record.

The Bears owned a more favorable 3-1 record over Favre when he played for the Vikings in the twilight of his career. The last time the Bears beat the Packers was in 2018 at Soldier Field. At the time, the Packers held a slim 97-95-6 lead in the rivalry.

He also posted a TFL on Fields on a third-down run play in the third quarter. Green Bay’s safeties either had a great bounce-back game in coverage or just were not tested much down the field by Fields. Runyan’s return from a concussion was a big boost for the line, but Jenkins’ first game back from a torn ACL was a nice emotional lift for the Packers’ offense. Watkins ended up leading the team in targets with just four, but his 55-yard catch off play-action was the team’s biggest play on the early season. Green Bay loaded up on their pony package in this game, putting Jones and Dillon on the field together on double-digit snaps. With Lazard and Sammy Watkins as the primary outside receivers, the team did rotate in rookies Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs, but to a lesser extent than they had in week one.

ET Sunday and Green Bay’s matchup in Tampa is slated for 4:25 p.m. Chicago’s kickoff at Soldier Field is scheduled for 1 p.m. Both teams enter the matchup at 1–1. The NFC North is one of the NFL’s most storied divisions, having two teams ranked No. 783, putting them within striking distance to take the No. Week 2’s win gave Green Bay win No.

Green Bay struggled stopping Chicago running back David Montgomery in the second half, meaning it likely will be a focus for the defense this week.

Even as Alexander points out the need to shore up the run defense, he also has to acknowledge the promising possibility it can be fixed sooner rather than later thanks in large part to the defensive front seven general manager Brian Gutekunst has built over the past few years. “We were in some situations to where we had him in second-and-long, get back on track situations," LaFleur said. Tape is always easier to study after a win, but the film review will still provide ample areas in which to improve against the run. But the Bears, under new offensive coordinator (and former Packers passing coordinator) Luke Getsy, stuck with what they knew could work. All of the yardage came on the ground. Joe Berry’s squad held the Bears to 70 yards through the air and Fields to 7-of-11 passing, thanks to a smothering secondary and fast pass rush.

Green Bayahuasca? Per usual, Aaron Rodgers made plenty of waves this offseason, but not for drama with the organization or his latest relationship.

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones ran through the defense of the Chicago Bears like a hot knife through butter on Sunday night at Lambeau Field.

Last season, Jones forced 39 missed tackles as a runner over 15 games, or roughly 2.5 per game – which helps put into context the 11 he forced on Sunday night. While not a big running back, Jones has terrific balance and core strength, allowing him to bounce off tacklers and stay on his feet even against bigger defenders at the second level. Gordon and Brisker missed six tackle attempts against Jones on Sunday night, and the Bears missed 17 total tackles on defense.

Smith also coached Illinois to a loss against South Florida on the lakefront in 2018. The 122 yards were the most since he had a career-high 146 in a win at Minnesota on Dec. The big question is why the Bears didn’t give him the ball on fourth down and less than 1 yard at the goal line with the Packers up 24-10 in the fourth. The Bears beat Tampa Bay when he was coaching the Buccaneers in 2014 at Soldier Field and in 2015 at Raymond James Stadium. Montgomery, who ran for just 26 yards in Week 1, had 38 on a 71-yard touchdown drive in the first quarter that gave Chicago a 7-3 lead over Green Bay. The Bears ran for 180 yards and 6.7 per attempt. [Montgomery looked more like the 1,000-yard rusher he was in 2020](https://apnews.com/article/green-bay-packers-chicago-bears-nfl-sports-ec66fd78ad5aa2ec16dc8d7880026cef) than the guy who ran for 849 yards last season and averaged 3.8 per attempt. Fields was 7 of 11 for 70 yards against the Packers, and the Bears can’t blame that on the weather. Rodgers gave them headaches, as usual, throwing for 234 yards and two touchdowns, and the Packers improved to 24-5 in games he has started against Chicago. Fields has completed just 15 of 28 passes for 191 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. The Bears will try to bounce back next Sunday when they host Lovie Smith and the Houston Texans (0-1-1). The Bears couldn’t stop Aaron Jones, who went off for 132 yards and a rushing touchdown.

The ruling was handed down by the father of a Green Bay Packers player. The appeal might be heard by a former Tampa Bay Buccaneers star.

So, at the end of the year, we want to be the best and we’re just taking the steps towards it.” “We want to be the best secondary in the league. In three career regular-season games against Green Bay, he caught only 7-of-15 passes for 92 yards and zero touchdowns. Evans than raced from the sideline and blasted Lattimore. In a letter to Evans that was released by the NFL, Runyan wrote: “After a play had ended, you were walking toward your sidelines. I seen him [Lattimore] punch somebody in the face. Last year, he caught 74 passes for 1,035 yards and 14 touchdowns. Also inactive against the Saints was oft-injured veteran Julio Jones with a knee injury. "All I see is Lattimore, he liked punched Lenny [Leonard Fournette] in the face or something like that and pushed Tom [Brady]. The decision was handed down by Jon Runyan Sr., the NFL’s vice president of football operations and the father of Packers starting left guard Jon Runyan Jr. The other option is former NFL receiver James Thrash. Your aggressive conduct could have caused serious injury to your opponent and clearly does not reflect the high standards of sportsmanship expected of a professional.”

The wide receiver position might have the flashly names of Evans, Jones and Godwin to keep tabs on throughout the week, but Tampa’s offensive line, considering how many inexperienced and injured players the team has on their roster, could be just as important.

By the end of the game, Tampa’s offensive line (left to right) was Walton, Luke Goedeke, Robert Hainsey, Shaq Mason and Tristan Wirfs.

It’s going to be a great challenge for us to go down to Tampa in their environment and we’re going to have to be our best.” “And then guys in the secondary, Jaire Alexander’s one of the great young corners in the game. “We’re facing a third one now and we’ve got to rise to the challenge. They have one of the greatest quarterbacks of all-time in Aaron leading them and they played great last night. Their focus will be on getting better offensively to meet the challenge on the other side of the football. In 2020, when the teams played in the regular season and again with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line, the Packers were No. “I got a lot of studying on the plane last night. I think one of the highest paid guys in the game, too. We’ve got to start playing the way that we’re capable. Brady was singing a similar tune after a 20-10 victory at the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. With the Monday night slate to be played, the Packers are 25th in the NFL in scoring with 17.0 points per game while the Buccaneers are 20th with 19.0 points per game. The living-legend quarterbacks, Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady, will be the national focus.

Green Bay lost its season opener at Minnesota, 23-7, but rebounded in Week Two with a dominant 27-10 home win over the Chicago Bears. The Buccaneers and Packers did not meet last season but squared off twice in 2020, Brady's first season in red and pewter. That follows four straight road games for the Buccaneers across the preseason and the start of the regular season.

The Green Bay Packers bounced back from a Week 1 defeat with a resounding victory over the Chicago Bears on Sunday night at Lambeau Field.

Tyler Davis played a team-high 20 special teams snaps. Rodgers also completed two passes thrown over 20 yards, averaged over 10 yards per attempt on play-action passes and didn’t have a turnover-worthy play. Deguara graded out poorly as a run blocker and didn’t have a catch. Stokes missed two tackles and really struggled on the perimeter against the run. Alexander got dinged for giving up a 30-yard completion, but he also had the game-ending interception. Watkins averaged over 5.0 yards per route run (93 yards, 18 routes) while doing all his work between the numbers in the middle of the field. Cobb ran just 12 routes but caught all three targets for 37 yards (including one contested catch), meaning he averaged over 3.0 yards per route run. 5. 4. 3. 2. 1.

Assumptions led to Green Bay giving up 42 yards over two plays.

Just like in the previous play, the Bears motioned their wing tight end from the weak side to run two-back power. While 42 yards over two plays may not seem like the most important thing in the grand scheme of things, the Bears’ second-to-last drive does give the Packers an opportunity to grow. The Packers also kept three cornerbacks on the field against 12 personnel again, but they were instead in Outside linebacker Rashan Gary, who was playing the left edge in the video above, got aggressive and stuck his head inside the kick-out block instead of setting the edge, which allowed Montgomery to bounce the play outside. Highlighted in the yellow box is Douglas, who on this play was essentially playing the strongside outside linebacker role in what amounted to a 4-3 front with nickel personnel. When LaFleur talks about “12 personnel” he means that the offense has one running back and two tight ends on the field.

Kyle Brandt speaks on the fallacy between the Bears-Packers rivalry narrative and its misplacement in prime time.

It is a mercy rule boat race every time we watch the game," Brandt said. But, they failed to score the ball after a Justin Fields touchdown on the opening drive. They ran the ball well, rushing for 180 yards as a team. According to Brandt, Rodgers' average margin of victory over the Bears in prime time is 15 points. "I understand they have to play twice a year. On Sunday night, the Bears lost by 17 points to the Packers.

Brown, the play had a chance to go for a touchdown. The defense had allowed the Packers to march down the field earlier for a touchdown, but this was the first moment where it appeared that they may be in serious trouble.

Montgomery is immediately brought down and the Bears are forced to punt. On this drive, this was the defense’s first opportunity to get off the field. Next on the scene was Jaquan Brisker, but it appeared Brisker didn’t take the best pursuit angle to make a play. Roquan Smith was flowing to the play, but A.J.
