Packers beat Bears 35-21, clinch No. 1 seed - NFL - Yahoo! Sports
With the first five-touchdown game of his NFL career, Aaron Rodgers ensured that the Green Bay Packers’ playoff road will go through Lambeau Field.
He also made sure the rival Chicago Bears will be spending the playoffs at home.
Rodgers broke a close game wide open by leading three quick scoring drives in the second half, and the Packers beat the Bears 35-21 on Sunday night.
Rodgers noted that he once threw six touchdowns in junior college—also in a rivalry game—but acknowledged this one was a little bit bigger.
“Yeah, this one’s pretty special,” Rodgers said.
With the win, the Packers (14-1) nailed down the No. 1 seed in the NFC and claimed another round of bragging rights in the NFL’s most storied rivalry by knocking the Bears out of the playoff chase.
