Both teams are 5-5, as are the Minnesota Vikings, who lost 19-13 to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Tampa, Fla. The Packers and Bears are 3-1 in NFC North games, but the Vikings are 2-2.
Green Bay's offensive line dominated the Bears, allowing Ryan Grant to run for more than 100 yards for the second time this season. He finished with 145 yards on 25 carries, and Brandon Jackson added 50 yards on 10 carries.
The line also provided plenty of protection for quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who threw two touchdown passes. Rodgers was 23-of-30 passing for 227 yards, one interception and a 105.9 passer rating.
Defensive end Jason Hunter put it away when he picked up a Kyle Orton fumble on fourth-and-10 and returned it 54 yards for a touchdown to make it 34-3 with 7 minutes left in the game. [url=index.php?name=Pro_News&aid=95]Read More...[/url].
