Grant runs Pack past Bears

Football Betting Lines

11/16/2008 - Green Bay, WI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Ryan Grant ran for 145 yards and a touchdown as the Green Bay Packers crushed the Chicago Bears, 37-3, in an NFC North battle at Lambeau Field.

Aaron Rodgers was an efficient 23-for-30 with 227 yards, two touchdowns and an interception while Greg Jennings and Donald Lee each caught a touchdown for the Packers (5-5), who snapped a two-game slide.

Kyle Orton, who missed last week's loss to Tennessee with an ankle injury, went just 13-for-26 with 138 yards and lost a fumble for the Bears (5-5), who have dropped their past two games. Matt Forte had 64 yards on 16 carries in the loss.

Coupled with Minnesota's loss to Tampa Bay on Sunday, the NFC North now has a three-way tie for first place between Chicago, Minnesota and Green Bay.

After the teams exchanged punts to start the game, Green Bay went on a scoring drive to take the lead. An eight-play, 73-yard drive was capped on a three- yard touchdown pass from Rodgers to Jennings for a 7-0 lead with 2:28 left in the first.

Chicago answered with a march of its own that spanned the first and second quarters and was finished with a 35-yard field goal from Robbie Gould to cut the deficit to 7-3 with 12:12 left in the first half.

Rodgers was intercepted deep in Chicago territory on the Packers' next touch, but the Green Bay defense held Chicago to a three-and-out.

Seven plays later, Grant punched the ball into the end zone from four yards out to give the Packers a 14-3 lead with just 1:11 left in the second.

Green Bay wasn't done scoring, though. After forcing Chicago to punt, the team got into field goal range and got a 53-yard field goal from Mason Crosby to make it a 17-3 game going into the locker room.

The Pack made it a three-touchdown game in the third quarter as Rodgers found Lee in the end zone from five yards out to make it a 24-3 game with 3:01 left in the third.

In the fourth quarter, a 33-yard field goal from Crosby, a 53-yard fumble recovery for a touchdown by Jason Hunter and a 45-yard field goal from Crosby accounted for the final score.

Game Notes

Chicago plays at St. Louis next Sunday...Green Bay plays in New Orleans on Monday night...Greg Olson had four catches for 45 yards for Chicago...Donald Driver had four catches for 60 yards for Green Bay...The Packers have seven defensive touchdowns this season, which is a franchise record...Crosby's 53- yard field goal tied a career-high.

Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.

The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.

The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.

Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.
