The Chicago Bears (0-2) have lost their first divional matchup. They traveled to Lambeau Field to play the Green Bay Packers (1-1) and were winning at halftime 13-7 at halftime, but were shut out in the second half to lose 13-35.
Fields lowered his interception total from three last week to two this week, although he was sacked more, being taken down behind the line of scrimmage three times on pass attempts. Ultimately his completion percentage went up to 70% as he threw 12 completions on 17 attempts, with a total of 134 yards and one touchdown.
The running game was efficient when used, though the Bears had to turn away from the run game in the second half as they began to be blown out. David Montgomery ran 11 times for 56 yards, with a respectable yards per attempt of 5.1. Rookie Trestan Ebner had a good showing, albeit breif, with five attempts for 32 yards, beating Monty's yards per attempt with 6.4.
For the first time this year, a Bears wide receiver broke 50 yards when Darnell Mooney caught five passes for 68 yards. Tight end Cole Kmet had the lone touchdown on the night.
On the defensive side of the ball, Roquan Smith and Trevis Gipson both notched a sack. Unfortunately the Bears let Aaron Rodgers throw all over them, not getting a single pick while Rodgers completed 21 of 23 passes, with only one incompletion in the second half.
Kicker Cairo Santos had a perfect night, making both of his field goals and his lone extra point attempt.
The Bears are going to need to put up better numbers if they are to beat the Texans at home in week three. If they do, it will be their first win of the season.
