The Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears, infamous NFL rivals, dueled it out on September 13 in Soldier Field. The Green Bay Packers have been closely watched because wide receiver Jordy Nelson is out for the season. Packers’ fans were on edge due to this loss.
Nelson is out for the season due to a knee injury that took place at a pre-game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers says, “It’s difficult to lose a guy like that in a meaningless game.”
The whole team has taken the loss of Nelson for the season fairly hard. He is known as a valuable asset to the team. Head coach Mike McCarthy said, “Jordy Nelson is a key member of our football program both on the field and off the field, probably more so off the field.”
However, Nelson’s injury did not stop the Green Bay Packers from taking on the challenge of playing the Chicago Bears. The first quarter began with a 28-yard field goal presented by Chicago Bears placekicker Robbie Gould.
Towards the end of the first quarter, a pass to Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was completed, following a touchdown by Packers player James Jones. This left the first quarter with a score of 7-3, Packers in the lead.
As the second quarter began, Bears player Matt Forte completed a one yard run, which resulted in a touchdown. Next, 
Packers player Mason Crosby scored a 37-yard field goal. Incredibly, Robbie Gould then scored a 50-yard field goal, leaving the second quarter score at 10-13 Chicago Bears for the win.
At the start of the third quarter, James Joyce completed a pass from Aaron Rodgers. Once again, Robbie Gould scored a 44-yard field goal. The completed score of the third quarter was 17-16, leaving the Packers up by one. Tensions began to run high, making this fourth quarter very important.
The fourth quarter held a lot, especially for the Green Bay Packers. Randall Cobb completed a pass made by Aaron Rodgers for 5 yards and Mason Crosby scored an extra point. Another touchdown was completed in the fourth quarter by Eddie Lacy. Finally, Bears player Martellus Bennett completed a pass by Jay Cutler. The final score ended in 31-23 with Packers for the win.
