Packers: Top five performers in Week 1 victory vs. Bears
By Jesse Fry
The Green Bay Packers’ top five performers in their Week 1 victory over the Chicago Bears.
What a way to start the season for the Green Bay Packers.
In the first game of their 100th season, the Packers and more specifically Aaron Rodgers gave the fans a memorable game. Down by 20 points, an injured Rodgers led the Packers on a second half comeback that won’t soon be forgotten.
The game was a tale of two halves. The first half couldn’t have gone any worse for the Packers. New Bears addition Khalil Mack showed he was worth every penny they paid him with a sack and an interception returned for a touchdown, and was a constant menace to Bryan Bulaga and Rodgers, and DeShone Kizer after replacing Rodgers.

The end result of the first half saw the Packers with a large 17-0 deficit.
The second half was a much different story. After allowing a field goal on the Bears’ opening possession, the Packers, inspired by their quarterback returning, took over and sent the Bears back to Chicago with a heartbreaking loss.
With the roller coaster of emotions that was Green Bay’s opening game of the 2018 season, let’s take a look at the team’s top five performers.
