The First half was all the cheese heads as Arron Rogers started by going 4 of 4 for 76 yards with catches by Greg Jennings (22 yards and 26 yards) along with a 22 yards catch to Jordy Nelson on the way to a TD run by himself from a yard out. Then Jay Cutler completed a pass to Matt Forte on the second play from the line of scrimmage and Forte did almost all the work for the 24 yards ducking and dodging Packers defenders but that would be the only big play in the first quarter for the Bears. The Packers even tried a short punt from the Bears 35 yard line and actually pinned them at the 3 yard line and with a have the distance penalty on the Bears they started on the 1.5 yard line. The Bears went 3 and out and punted where Tramon Williams fumbled the ball at midfield and got it to the Bears 44 yard line 5 plays later James Starks 4 yard TD run which included Brandon Jackson a 16 yard catch, a James Stark 12 yard run, and a Jordy Nelson 15 yard catch to give the Packers a 14-0. Then the Bears got another big play with a 24 yard catch by Johnny Knox from Jay Cutler put they got the ball to the Packers 31 yard line and punted trying to pin the Packers but a Bears tackler was on the goal line with the ball so it was a touchback. The Bears got a break as Rogers throw a interception last minute of the half to Lance Briggs but after completing a 17 yard Matt Forte catch Jay Cutler gave the ball back to the Packers by throwing an interception to Sam Shields. Arron Rogers was 10 for 15 in the first half and he had the biggest run of the half with a 25 yard run while Jay Cutler 6 for 13 for 80 yards while the Bears running game had 76 yards and they were lucky only to be down 14-0. The third quarter had no scoring but Jay Cutler was hurt on the opening drive and he was taken out of the game with a leg injury and then Arron Rogers completed a 20+ yard catch to Jordy Nelson (21 yards) Greg Jennings (20 yards) but then Rogers throw his second career interception inside the red zone and Brian Urlacher catch it and run 36 yards and Todd Collins was ineffective (0 for 4) that Caleb Hanie came in to quarterback the Bears. In the fourth quarter Caleb Hanie completed a pass to Johnny Knox for 32 yard line to the Packers yard line and Cheston Taylor ran it in to the end zone to make it 14-7 Packers and then on the next Packers drive Rogers took a hit to the head by Julius Peppers where the helmet on his head got turned around and his chin strap was up by his mouth but stayed in the game. Then 340 pound defensive lineman B.J. Raji rumbled and bumbled into the end zone after intercepting Caleb Hanie at the Bear 17 yard line to make it 21-7 Packers but then Bear receiver Earl Bennett had a leaping catch and then ran to the end zone as the Packers defensive players were all in his rear view mirror and after the Packers went 3 and out and the Bears had nearly 3 minutes and 2 timeouts left down by a touchdown. Caleb Hanie throw an interception to Sam Shields (second of the game) with 37 seconds left where Rogers Knelled it down to end the game but Caleb Hanie showed much more than the others Bears quarterbacks as he was able to move them down the field twice and a third with time whining down got closed to closing the deal and tying the game up. He went 13 of 20 for 153 yards with a TD and 2 INTs while Arron Rogers went 17 of 30 for 244 yards with 2 INTs as the Bears handled him after 4 for 4 on the opening drive and the Packers got the breaks and turned them into points which the Bears had a harder time doing. While Greg Jennings of the Packers was the busiest receiver with 8 catches for 130 yards including 2 catches for 48 yards on the opening drive to set-up the first points of the game while Desmond Bishop had 7 tackles and an assists and Sam Shields who had 5 tackles a sack and 2 interceptions. Brian Urlacher had 9 tackles, an assists, a sack, and an interception so he was a very busy Bear tonight but will have to wait another season to get to his second chance of winning the superbowl.
