The Packers hold an early 3-0 lead over the Bears on Thursday Night Football.
A 32-yard Mason Crosby field goal opened the scoring. The Packers drove 53 yards in 13 plays.
The Packers converted a fourth and 3 from inside the Bears’ 30 on a pass to Jordy Nelson to keep the drive alive. A dropped pass by Randall Cobb a few plays later forced the Packers to settle for a field goal.
The Packers are shorthanded by injury issues on both sides of the ball. Wide receiver Ty Montgomery started at running back and got a carry on the Packers’ first play. Later in the drive he caught a pass as a wide receiver. Rookie Don Jackson, just promoted Thursday, also got a carry.
The Bears punted on their first two drives.
