CHICAGO The Packers rushed for 97 yards in the first half to take a 6-0 lead over the Chicago Bears after two Brandon McManus field goals.
Quarterback Jordan Love left to be evaluated for a concussion with under four minutes left in the half after Austin Booker's second roughing the passer penalty of the game. He's questionable to return.
Packers and Bears play a scoreless first quarter
Chicago won the coin toss and elected to defer. During Bo Melton's 29-yard return, Bears linebacker D'Marco Jackson was flagged for unnecessary roughness after jumping on the pile to give the Packers the ball at their 47..
Jordan Love completed his first pass to tight end Luke Musgrave for a 7-yard gain on second-and-8. On third-and-1, Austin Booker was flagged for a late hit on Love to move the ball to the Chicago 29.
Love hit Romeo Doubs on an out for 12 yards on a third-and-9 and went back to him again for a 6-yard pickup on third-and-7 at the Bears' 13. After using a timeout, Love and Christian Watson failed to connect on an out for the turnover on downs.
Chicago moved the ball 85 yards without seeing a third down until D'Andre Swift was tackled a yard short of a first down at the Green Bay 4.
On fourth-and-1, the Bears tried a direct snap to running back Kyle Monangai, but Drew Dalman's snap sailed over his head for an 18-yard loss and turnover on downs.
Starting at its 22, Green Bay converted the initial first down with a Love scramble on third-and-6. A 13-yard out to Doubs moved the Packers to their 46. Two Josh Jacobs carries for 11 yards moved Green Bay back into Chicago territory.
The first quarter ended with Doubs' fourth reception, a 20-yard completion to the Bears' 23.
Packers lead Bears 6-0 at halftime
Jacobs opened the second quarter with three straight touches an 8-yard catch, a 6-yard run and a 4-yard reception to move Green Bay to the Chicago.
A backward pass to Emanuel Wilson went out of bounds and Love missed Watson high on third-in-goal, resulting in a Brandon McManus 26-yard field goal to put Green Bay up 3-0 with 12 minutes, 45 seconds left in the first half.
Three straight Monangai touches gained 15 yards and moved the Bears across midfield. Jordon Riley held Monangai to a 2-yard gain on second-and-10 before Darnell Wright was called for a false start on the next play.
Chicago punted after Caleb Williams was forced to throw the ball away on third-and-13. Tory Taylor's 40-yard punt pinned Green Bay back at its own 5.
Packers announced linebacker Kristian Welch is questionable with an ankle injury before their next drive. Green Bay gained the initial first down with a 5-yard Wilson run and 7-yard out to Watson.
On the next play, Love left the game to be evaluated for a concussion after Booker's second roughing the passer penalty. Malik Willis stepped in for Love and converted on fourth-and-1 with 13-yard run off a read-option to the Bears' 46.
Willis and Wilson combined for 13 yards on back-to-back runs before Willis hit Dontayvion Wicks for six yards on an out. Wilson gained 14 yards on a stretch right to the Chicago 5 to set up first-and-goal.
The drive stalled there and Green Bay settled for a 22-yard field goal to push the Packers' lead to 6-0 with 1:41 left in the first half. The 16-play, 91-yard scoring drive lasted 7:53.
Williams hit Colston Loveland for 13 yards on first down, but the Bears were forced to punt after his third-and-4 pass to Loveland sailed high. Green Bay took over at its 8 after Doubs' fair catch with 45 seconds left in the quarter.
