Coming off of an embarrassing defeat in their season opener, the Green Bay Packers returned to Lambeau to host the Chicago Bears. With Allen Lazard and Elgton Jenkins coming back from injury, the Packers hoped for a better outing on offense than they saw last week, where everything went wrong for them, save for one AJ Dillion touchdown.
After the offense struggled for a bit in the first quarter, they found their footing in the first half as Aaron Jones helped open the run game wide open. The offense showed promise in the receiving game, with some big chunk plays from Romeo Doubs and Randall Cobb, and capping off their final drive of the half with an Aaron Rodgers touchdown pass to Allen Lazard. The defense wasnât much different, after letting up a long opening drive touchdown to Justin Fields, they clamped down and didnât allow any points for the remainder of the half as the Packers went into the locker room leading 24-7.
The second half started off strong with the defense forcing a quick three-and-out and Jones leading the offense down the field; however, a fumble on an exchange between Dillon and Aaron Rodgers killed the drive and would begin a quarter and a half long stretch where the Packers would struggle on both sides of the ball. Offensively, the Packers would continue to make mistakes that would kill otherwise strong drives. Defensively, the Bearsâ run game would carve them up on the ground; however they held strong in the red-zone on back-to-back drives, including a monster of a goal line stand made possible thanks to a touchdown saving tackle by Quay Walker. After that, the Packers offense would drive down the field for one more field goal, before a Jaire Alexander interception sealed a 27-10 Packers victory, their first of the 2022 NFL season.
