From WR to RB, Montgomery comes up big in win over Bears (The Associated Press)

CHICAGO (AP) -- For a wide receiver, Ty Montgomery sure looked like a good running back.

Montgomery was just about unstoppable for Green Bay, running for a career-high 162 yards and two touchdowns to help the surging Packers beat the Bears 30-27 in one of the coldest games in Chicago on Sunday.

The former receiver broke tackles and outran defenders. At times, it took three or four Bears to bring him down.

It all added up to quite an afternoon for Montgomery after coach Mike McCarthy announced during the week that his switch to running back is a full-time move.
