After an unpleasant loss in Week 1 against the Minnesota Vikings, the Green Bay Packers restored themselves against their forever rivals, the Chicago Bears. Aaron Rodgers and his team proved once again that they owned the Bears. The Packers won with a score of 27-10. Mostly, the adjustments that the head coach, Matt LaFleur, made after their All-Pro WR, Davante Adams, left the team- worked for them. Still, the Packers shined on the field.

To talk about their glorious win, the Super Bowl-winning QB appeared on the cameras to show just how happy he was. He beamed with great joy and said, “There’s a long history of games between these two teams. Now we’ve won 104 times against them.”
When the reporter asked him if the Packers count their winning streak against the Bears, he said in a snide way, “No, I think everybody in Green Bay is counting for sure.” And this time, the wins came from the running backs.
Aaron Rodgers saw a lot of changes on the roster
NFL is a game where the quarterback makes the calls. Aaron Rodgers, the back-to-back MVP-winner, has been the guy the team relied on the most. However, despite being the best, the team lost twice in the preseason.

And since a lot of changes took place on the roster, depending on the signal caller at every turn can not be expected.
Therefore, relying on the running backs of the team, AJ Dillon and Aaron Jones, worked effectively for the Green Bay Packers. They gained a good amount of yards during the game. Together Jones and Dillon combined for 236 yards.

The team could depend on a balanced attack by keeping Aaron Jones at the main point. He attained 170 yards and turned average plays into shifty gains. Rodgers kept a low profile while launching rapid, close-range shots. The offensive line slip up here and there, making the Packers fumble snaps, but everything stayed under control.
