Packers tied up at top of NFC North

I missed this 37-3 whooping, but was grateful for game-time updates.

Grant and Rodgers both benefited from much-improved play by the Packers offensive line, which pushed around a Bears defense that had been strong against the run but vulnerable to the pass.

The Packers also protected Rodgers far better than they did in last week's loss at Minnesota. A week after taking four sacks and giving up two safeties, Rodgers wasn't sacked and barely was touched by the Bears' pass rush.

Rodgers completed his first seven passes, including a 3-yard slant to Greg Jennings for a touchdown to take a 7-0 lead.

Feels good to get a win.

GO PACK!
