Packers surge past Bears 14-3 at halftime

GREEN BAY, Wis. (WSAW) – The oldest rivalry in the National Football League meets for their 211th time, on the line tonight: the first-place spot in the NFC North.

The rivals go scoreless in the first quarter, as two big catches for both teams are overturned as incomplete. For the Bears, it’s a Caleb Williams pass to Colston Loveland to put Chicago in field goal range. Broken up by Packers’ Evan Williams to keep the Bears off the scoreboard. The Packers find the same fate as a completion from Jordan Love to Luke Musgrave is also overturned as incomplete.

Before the game, Green Bay got good news, welcoming Jayden Reed and Matthew Golden back to the Packers’ active roster, and Love’s arsenal.

Love and his weapons get to work to open the second quarter, completing a 21-yard pass to Josh Whyle on the Bears’ 23-yard line. Followed by a 23-yard touchdown pass to Christian Watson for the first score of the game, giving the Packers a 7-0 lead.

The Packers defense clutches up in the final three minutes of the first half, Karl Brooks delivers a hit on D.J. Moore to force a 2nd &14. That results in a Bears field goal attempt, which is good, cutting the Packers’ lead to 7-3.

With less than a minute to play, Love finds his man Bo Melton for another Packers touchdown, this one, for 45 yards and the 14-3 lead.
