43. Packers 37, Bears 3 (2008)

As a Packers fan, there are not many things that make me more happy during a game than watching Green Bay absolutely annihilate Chicago. Green Bay was 4-3 after dominating Indianapolis before the bye week, but lost its first two games after the bye by a combined four points. Still, somehow, the Packers were in contention for the NFC North lead. Ryan Grant had a monster day, rushing for 145 yards and a touchdown in helping the Packers improve to 5-5 and move into a three-way tie for first place with Chicago and Minnesota.

Both teams started out the game with a punt, but then Green Bay started out the scoring on an Aaron Rodgers short pass to Greg Jennings to give the Packers the lead. It was an eight play drive with Donald Driver catching three passes for 39 yards on the possession. The veteran wide receiver would finish with four catches for 60 yards.

A field goal from Robbie Gould cut the Packers lead to 7-3 and an interception by Packers nemesis Brian Urlacher thwarted the next Green Bay possession and Chicago had momentum. From then on, though, it was all Packers.

The green and gold forced the Bears offense into a three and out after the interception and then Rodgers went back to work. Grant rushed for 40 yards of the Packers 65 on the drive, including the touchdown from four yards out to give the Packers the 14-3 lead.

A short punt by Brad Maynard gave the Packers great field position, and Mason Crosby kicked a 53-yard field goal just before the end of the half to give the green and gold a 17-3 lead at the break.

After a punt by Maynard on Chicago’s second possession of the second half, Green Bay put the game away. Green Bay went on an 88-yard drive in 11 plays to give the Packers a 24-3 lead. The touchdown was scored on a Rodgers 5-yard strike to Donald Lee. On the drive, Rodgers was 5-6 for 68 yards, completing passes to four different receivers.

Green Bay added a field goal early in the fourth before they delivered the final nails in the Chicago coffin. On a fourth down in Packers territory, Kyle Orton was in the shotgun, and the snap was mishandled by the former Boilermaker and Jason Hunter picked it up and he ran 54-yards for the Packers touchdown to put Green Bay in front 34-3. This was not the first time Orton had a fumble returned for a touchdown against a team from Wisconsin.

The Packers added salt to the wound as they kicked a field goal on the first play after the two minute warning to put the final points on the board in a Packers 37-3 drubbing over their rivals directly to the South.

This would be the last taste of victory until the last game of the season, though. Following a blowout loss in New Orleans, the Packers lost four more games by a total of 14 points. Green Bay was able to win against Detroit to finish 6-10 and help finish off the Lions 0-16 season.
