Despite a blackout on offense in the second half, the Packers were never threatened by the Bears after the first quarter.
Rodgers completed both touchdown passes in the second period. He first joined Aaron Jones from eight yards, then deftly spotted Allen Lazard from five yards into the end zone at the very end of the quarter.
Rodgers hit the target on 19 of his 25 stints and had 234 yards through the air. He was the victim of three quarterback sacks.
Jones netted the Packers’ other major early in the second quarter by completing a 15-yard run in the pay zone. He rushed for 132 yards during the game.
After a promising start to the game, the Bears were handicapped by their anemic offense. The pivot Justin Fields managed the only major of his team, in the first quarter, by running.
Fields threw just 11 passes in the game and completed seven. He was the victim of a larceny and three sacks and had just 70 yards.
The Bears (1-1), Packers (1-1) and Detroit Lions (1-1) all have the same record in the National’s North Section. The Vikings (1-0) will play their second game on Monday, against the Philadelphia Eagles (1-0).
