Green Bay Packers: When the Defense Returned

Favre, who made amends with the Lambeau faithful at halftime of Thursday night’s ceremony which placed him among some of the most storied names in football history, was the ultimate gamer. “He is an individual who took it seriously and said, ‘I want to be better.’ I think he is taking great advantage of that opportunity”.

Football’s back for the official 2015 NFL season, so get ready, MstarsNews readers!

As for the Bears, they had their two game winning streak ended when they lost to the Denver Broncos at home and will now try to turn things around once again by beating their division leaders. Initially it looked like the Lions had gotten a hand on the kick, but on re-watch, it looks like Crosby just badly mis-hit the attempt. But with Fox and offensive coordinator Adam Gase, Cutler avoided throwing an interception. “To me a really great quarterback, you really know if a guy’s great if he can carry his team when the rest of the team’s just OK and they lose guys and they plug guys in, but yet they still win”.

Getting back to football.

But it was his desire to win, and to score, that ended up delaying this moment for so long.

Martellus Bennett, Ka’Deem Carey and Eddie Royal were ruled out on Wednesday. In the receiving end, Marquess Wilson had 102 yards in seven catches while Josh Bellamy added 57 yards in four catches. The game is also airing as a live stream online. Cutler is 1-12 against the Packers in his career, and the return of Forte and Jeffery will increase his chance at earning that second win. According to the oddsmakers, the Over/Under (O/U) is now at 47 points.

QB Aaron Rodgers finds a soft secondary to his liking and the Packers look like their September selves until the Bears make it a fight in the second half.

But back at Favre’s home in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, the monumental event barely registered in his household.

It was also a big game for the Packers defense, which held formidable foe and running back Adrian Peterson to only 45 yards and 3.5 yards per carry despite ranking No. 22 overall against the run this season. On the moneyline, Green Bay is a -420 favorite, while the Bears are +335 underdogs.

Rodgers went to James Jones a lot in the first game against the Bears, and Jones responded with two touchdowns. The secondary unit is better than it was early in the season, however, and they will need to be on the same page to come away with a victory.
