Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was more than the Bears could handle, and it gets no easier with fellow future Hall of Famer Drew Brees next in the playoff game against the Saints on Sunday.
Until the Bears find a franchise quarterback, they’re always going to be an underdog against teams that have one.
Rodgers laid out a clear blueprint for Brees, so the Bears need to make major corrections. Their most jarring lapse came midway through the second quarter, when they left inside linebacker Danny Trevathan to cover speedy Packers receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling. Trevathan never had a chance, and Valdes-Scantling went 72 yards for a touchdown catch.
