Alshon Scores, Packers Still Beat Bears

CHICAGO (AP) — Aaron Rodgers threw for 302 yards and four touchdowns, and the Green Packers shook off one of their worst offensive performances in years with a 38-17 victory over the Chicago Bears on Sunday afternoon. The Packers (2-2) scored on their first six possessions to build a 38-17 lead. They racked up 358 yards after being held to 223, their lowest total since 2008, a week earlier in a 19-7 loss at Detroit. They intercepted Jay Cutler twice in the third quarter to pull away from the Bears (2-2). That gave Green Bay five straight wins at Soldier Field, including the NFC title game four years ago and a playoffs-or-bust finale for both teams last season. Former Gamecock and Calhoun County High School standout Alshon Jeffery caught a 2nd quarter touchdown pass to give Chicago a 17-14 lead. Green Bay went on to score 24 unanswered points. Jeffery finished the game with 4 catches for 39 yards.
