GREEN BAY, Wis. — Games, and seasons, have turning points. Thursday night’s game in Green Bay — won by the Bears, 17-13, turning away Aaron Rodgers and the Packers four times with the football at the Chicago 8 in the closing seconds — had all the markings of precisely that for a Bears team so often humiliated in this exact venue.
“It’s a game I’ll never forget,” said defensive end Willie Young, who’d never won here as a Bear or Detroit Lion but marked this night, on which the Packers retired Brett Favre’s No. 4 jersey, with a sack of Rodgers.
