Charged up Packers pound Bears 35-14

Los Angeles: Aaron Rodgers threw four touchdown passes, and the Green Bay defence forced four turnovers as the Packers routed the Chicago Bears 35-14 in the lone NFL game on Thursday night. It was a costly victory for the already injury-riddled Packers. Running back Ty Montgomery sustained broken ribs on the first possession, and receiver Davante Adams was taken to a hospital after a violent helmet-to-helmet hit late in the third quarter.

The game also included a 40-minute weather delay because of storms in the Green Bay area. “We knew we had to play a certain style of football against these guys,” said Green Bay coach Mike McCarthy.
