3 times the Green Bay Packers destroyed the Chicago Bears

Week 11, 2008: Packers 37, Bears 3

The year is 2008. Aaron Rodgers is in season number one as a starter. His first start against the Bears was a sign of what was to come, as he led the Packers to a dominant victory.

As expected with Rodgers starting in his first season, the Packers were inconsistent. They only won six games. This Week 11 victory over the Bears was the Packers’ only win in an eight-week stretch.

Ryan Grant was the star of the show for the Packers, rushing for 145 yards and a touchdown on 25 carries. In total, Green Bay rushed for exactly 200 yards, averaging 5.3 yards per attempt.

That opened up the passing game for Rodgers, who threw for 227 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in an impressive display. He had a passer rating of 105.8 in the game.

Green Bay’s defense dominated, limiting Chicago to just three points and scoring a fumble return touchdown.

It may have been one of the few positives to take away from a disappointing second half of the 2008 regular season, but it was a sign of what was to come.

The Packers have dominated the Bears rivalry with Rodgers at quarterback, and it all started with his first start against them in Week 11 of the 2008 season.
