Packers Survive By the Lake

Here are a few reasons why the Packers held off the Bears on Sunday in Chicago’s Soldier Field. QB Aaron Rodgers had another good day — 28 or 38, for 297 yards and 3 TDs.

The Packers’ defense, while bending here and there, held the Bears to 13 yards rushing in 12 attempts.

RB Ryan Grant finally looked again like the player they’re paying him to be — 92 yards on 17 attempts.

And what can we say about TE Jermichael Finley? Seven catches for 85 yards and 3 TDs. It certainly was good to get out of that place with a win, knocking the Bears to 1-2. The Vikings are 0-3, but those improved Lions are also 3-0, tied with the Packers. It’s going to be an interesting year.
