On the first play of the third quarter, Packers LB Julius Peppers stripped Bears QB Matt Barkley from behind and recovered the fumble at the Chicago 17.
After one first down, the Packers were backed up to the 16 by a holding penalty. QB Aaron Rodgers then had his pass for WR Davante Adams dropped in the end zone. Rodgers scrambled twice down to the 1-yard line, and the Packers kicked an 18-yard field goal to take the lead, 13-10.
The Packers got it right back with another turnover. S Ha Ha Clinton-Dix intercepted his fourth pass of the year on a ball overthrown for TE Daniel Brown, and he returned it to the Green Bay 42.
