Rodgers, Packers try to stop skid, extend streak over Bears

Associated Press  

LAKE FOREST, Ill. — Aaron Rodgers turned toward the crowd after scrambling for a dagger touchdown at Soldier Field last year and landed a verbal haymaker for good measure. But it looks like they will have quarterback Justin Fields back after he missed last week’s game at the New York Jets because of a separated left shoulder. SLOWING THE RUN The Packers allowed 363 yards rushing last week, the most they’d given up in a single game since 1977. Coach Matt LaFleur said Green Bay had more than 20 missed tackles in that game and called it “by far our worst tackling performance that I’ve seen here.” Now, the Packers’ 31st-ranked run defense must deal with a Bears offense featuring the mobile Fields, assuming he plays. Chicago’s David Montgomery rushed for a season-high 122 yards on 15 carries in the Bears’ 27-10 loss at Green Bay in Week 2.
