Rodgers, who tied the franchise record for touchdown passes in a game, finished with 315 yards on 18-of-27 passing. He also tied the NFL record for most TD passes in a half, which was set by Oakland's Daryle Lamonica in 1969.

Jordy Nelson caught six passes for 152 yards and two touchdowns, and Randall Cobb totaled 72 yards and a score on four catches for the Packers (6-3), who improved to 4-0 at home this season.

Eddie Lacy caught three passes for 68 yards and a score and also ran the ball for 50 yards on 14 totes. Andrew Quarless and Brandon Bostick also caught a touchdown in the win.

Jay Cutler completed 22-of-37 passes for 272 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions, Brandon Marshall had eight catches for 112 yards and a score and Chris Williams returned a kickoff 101 yards for a touchdown for Chicago (3-6), which has been outscored by a 106-37 margin over its last two games.

The Bears, who suffered a 51-23 loss to New England prior to their bye, joined the 1923 Rochester Jeffersons as the only two teams in NFL history to allow 50 or more points in consecutive games.
