The Packers finally have generated some offense, and they hold a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter.

Davante Adams has caught a pair of second half touchdown passes from Aaron Rodgers for the Packers, who lead 20-10 after trailing 10-6.

Adams and Ty Montgomery have accounted for a bunch of the Green Bay offense. The Packers don’t have a true running back available after rookie Don Jackson was hurt, leaving Montgomery to both run and play wide receiver.

Early in the fourth quarter, Montgomery has 56 rushing yards and 59 receiving yards. Adams has 12 catches for 116 yards. The second touchdown drive covered 88 yards, the longest of the season for the Packers.

The Bears are struggling to get off the field. Matt Barkley is at quarterback after Brian Hoyer suffered a broken left arm in the second quarter. The Bears’ only touchdown came on a fumble recovery by rookie pass rusher Leonard Floyd.
