Packers take road victory in opener vs Bears

The Green Bay Packers travel to Chicago to open up the 100th NFL as they renew their rivalry with the Bears. The Bears won the NFC North last season and lost in the Wild Card game to the Eagles last season. The Packers missed the playoffs for the second straight year and are hoping to get back into the playoffs with star QB Aaron Rodgers and new head coach Matt LaFleur.
 Both teams would trade punts on the first three possessions. The Bears would start with good field position on their second possession of the game. David Montgomery would get 6 yards on second and 6 but they would settle for a 38 yard field goal by Eddy Pineiro for a 3-0 Bears lead. The Packers and Bears would trade punts as the first quarter came to a close. On the first play of the Packers drive in the second quarter, Aaron Rodgers would go to M Valdes-Scantling for 47 yards to the Bears 27 yard line. On second and 1, Rodgers would go to Davante Adams for 10 yards for a first and goal at the eight yard line. Very next play, Rodgers would go to tight end Jimmy Graham for the eight yard touchdown pass and the Packers would lead 7-3 with 13:08 remaining in the second quarter. Teams would trade punts until the end of the first half when Rodgers had a chance for a hail mary but the throw would fall short as we head to halftime with the Packers leading 7-3 over the Bears.
 They would trade punts throughout the third quarter but the Bears would drive to the Packers 33 yard line and faced a fourth and 10 and QB Mitch Trubisky would get stopped for three yards and a turnover on downs late in the third quarter. The Packers and Bears would once again trade punts. The Packers would go on a ten play drive that would end with a 39 yard field goal by Mason Crosby for a 10-3 game with 5:15 remaining in the fourth quarter. The Bears would take over and on 2nd and 4, Trubisky would go to Allen Robinson for four yards. On a second and 5, Trubisky would go to Tarik Cohen for nine to the Bears 49 yard line. On a second and 10, Trubisky would find Robinson for 24 yards to the Packers 27 yard line. The Packers would challenge and the ruling would be upheld but on the next play, Trubisky would go to Robinson again, this time for 21 to the Packers 30 yard line on third and 10. On third and 1, Trubisky would find Cohen for 5 to the 16 yard line. The Bears would face a third and 10 and Trubisky would go to the end zone but it would be intercepted by former Bear Adrian Amos for a touchback. The Bears would have all three of their timeouts and would use two of their timeouts and would get the ball back with 1:33 to go. The Bears would face a fourth and 10 with 1:09 to go and Trubisky would get sacked by Preston Smith and the Packers would take the road victory in Chicago 10-3.
