Bears 27, Packers 20
Backup Josh McCown threw for 272 yards and two touchdowns as visiting Chicago knocked out Aaron Rodgers and snapped Green Bay's four-game winning streak.
Matt Forte rushed for 125 yards and a touchdown and Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery each caught a scoring pass for the Bears (5-3), who ended a six-game losing streak at the hands of the Packers (5-3) and moved into a three-way tie atop the NFC North with Green Bay and Detroit.
Former MVP Rodgers suffered a left shoulder injury on the opening possession of the game and did not return, forcing Seneca Wallace into his first action since the final day of the 2011 season - which also was the last time McCown made a start. Wallace finished 11-of-19 for 114 yards and one interception while Eddy Lacy rushed for 150 yards and a touchdown.
James Starks scored on a 32-yard run following a blocked punt to give the Packers a 10-7 lead, but Forte's 1-yard TD run and Robbie Gould's 24-yard field goal on the final play of the half put the Bears ahead 17-10. Lacy broke loose for a 56-yard run to set up his own 1-yard plunge and Mason Crosby kicked a 23-yard field goal following an onside kick as Green Bay reclaimed the lead 20-17 with 8:45 left in the third.
Devin Hester's 23-yard punt return gave Chicago great field position and McCown moved the Bears 47 yards in seven plays, capping it with a 6-yard scoring toss to Jeffery with 2:41 left in the third. The Bears converted a fourth-and-1 at their own 32-yard line and ate up 8:55 on an 18-play, 80-yard march that culminated with Gould's 27-yard field goal with 50 seconds to play.
