Aaron Rodgers was standing on the sideline in a big winter coat, his hands buried in his pockets rather than unleashing a discount double check.
Brett Favre? He was probably wearing a good pair of Wranglers and throwing passes to his dog somewhere in Mississippi.
This was the Bears' best opportunity to beat the Green Bay Packers in years. And they couldn't do it.
There was much made of the fact that the Bears were favored against their longtime rivals for the first time in nearly a decade. The chatter all week was that the Bears finally had a quarterback edge, with Mitch Trubisky figuring to be better than Rodgers' fill-in, Brett Hundley, who led a dismal offensive output during a three-game losing streak that mustered only 44 points.
