With the official game time temperature at 11 degrees (minus-4 wind chill), the Packers wasted no time getting on the board. QB Aaron Rodgers, showing more mobility than expected with his injured calf, hit TE Jared Cook on a pair of third downs for 27 and 17 yards. On a 12-yard completion to WR Jordy Nelson, Rodgers was roughed by Bears DL Akiem Hicks, making it first-and-goal on the 4.
RB Ty Montgomery took it around right end from there, and the Packers had a 7-0 lead with 9:57 left in the opening quarter.
