CHICAGO – It was crunch time. The Packers had a distinct advantage.
When the game was on the line, Aaron Rodgers played as you would expect a two-time MVP to play. He made big plays with his arm, his feet and his command of the game. He drove the Packers 78 yards in 16 plays to give the Packers a 24-16 lead.
His counterpart, Jay Cutler, who had been playing one of his best games against the team that has tormented him as no other has, all of a sudden reverted to form. He threw three consecutive incompletions from the 2-yard line, and then threw an interception to Clay Matthews the next time the Bears had the ball.
