With the all time series being a tie at 94-94-6, who would be able to break the tie on Thursday Night between the Chicago Bears and the Green Bay Packers? Aaron Rodgers 18-of-26 completions for 179 yards passing and 4 touchdowns in a 35-14 Packers victory over the Bears.

Packers running back Ty Montgomery left the game for Green Bay in the first with broken ribs. He finished with 5 carries for 28 yards rushing. DaVante Adams caught a 5-yard touchdown pass in the first-quarter for Green Bay. Randall Cobb caught a 2-yard touchdown pass from Rodgers later in the first. Cobb finished with 4 catches for 44 yards receiving and a touchdown.

In the second quarter, Aaron Jones scored on a two-yard rushing touchdown. He finished with 49 rushing yards on 13 carries and a touchdown. Jones played well after second running back Jamaal Williams left the game with a knee injury.

Before halftime, Mike Glennon threw a 5-yard touchdown pass to Kendall Wright. Wright finished with 4 receptions for 51 yards receiving and a touchdown. Glennon completed 21-of-33 passes for 218 yards passing and a touchdown and two interceptions.

In the third quarter, Packers receiver DaVante was viciously hit in the head by Bears linebacker Danny Trevathan. Adams was immediately laying on the ground and he was carted off the field and taken to a local hospital. Trevathan should face a suspension after that dirty and uncalled for hit.

After that vicious hit, Jordy Nelson caught a 2-yard touchdown pass from Rodgers. In the fourth quarter, Nelson caught a 8-yard touchdown pass. Nelson finished with 4 receptions for 75 yards receiving and 2 touchdowns.

Late in the game, Bears running back Jordan Howard scored on a 3-yard rush. Howard finished with 53 rushing yards on 18 carries and a touchdown. He also caught 2 passes for 10 yards receiving. The Packers defense forced four turnovers in the game.

Chicago will travel to face the Minnesota Vikings (2-1) next Monday Night and the Green Bay Packers will travel to face the Dallas Cowboys (2-1) next Sunday.
