The Packers would be looking at having to defend against a third onside kick in consecutive weeks if it weren't for this hold by Corey Graham on a late fourth quarter punt by Tim Masthay. The Bears had one of the best trick plays in the history of the league, but it was all for naught because of a holding penalty that didn't need to occur. But, the penalty did occur, the Packers got the victory, and a 3-0 record is now next to Green Bay in the standings.
It's always a treat to go into Soldier Field and knock off those pesky Bears, but I'm not really sure how the Packers did it. I felt like the defense was a bit weak on Sunday, yet they had three sacks, a couple of turnovers, and held the Bears to 17 points. I didn't think the offense was overly impressive, yet Jermichael Finley had three touchdowns and Ryan Grant rushed for 92 yards. I don't know how to explain it, the whole thing just felt kind of weird to me.
Rather than go in depth via the print method, I'm going to link over to our friends at Cheesehead TV where you can take a listen to Brian Carriveau and myself talk through the victory.
