Bears' Brian Hoyer suffers broken left arm, replaced by Matt Barkley

"When you play an explosive offense like Green Bay, it kind of helps to maybe be out there a little bit more offensively, which I think was a problem in the second half".

Green Bay Packers WR Davante Adams snags his second TD of the game on a 4-yard TD pass from QB Aaron Rodgers in the Thursday night matchup against the Bears.

Rodgers was 39 of 56, setting a franchise mark for completions in a game. Eddie Lacy was placed on injured reserve before the game with a left ankle injury. "It's not an excuse, it's just reality".

For the fifth time in six games, Chicago (1-6) failed to score more than 17 points.

The decision was made for Fox on Thursday night at Lambeau Field, when Hoyer sustained a broken left arm when hit by Green Bay Packers linebackers Clay Matthews and Julius Peppers in the second quarter.

Replacement Matt Barkley struggled in making his season debut, connecting on 6 of 15 passes for 81 yards with two interceptions and an 18.3 rating.

"We're waiting on the medical people", coach John Fox said. It didn't work either. Then Montgomery picked up 11 on a carry out of the backfield before Adams burned Jacoby Glenn on a double-move for another 24 yards, putting him over 100 for the day. Receiver Alshon Jeffery was held to three catches for 33 yards against a Packers secondary without its top three cornerbacks because of injuries. Matt Barkley took his place in the game and couldn't get anything going. He is tied for the National Football League lead for touchdown receptions and is on pace to record 933 receiving yards and 13 touchdowns. He extended his right arm to lift Hoyer up, but Hoyer fell back to the turf in pain. Hoyer stayed on the turf for a couple minutes before walking off with trainers.

Hoyer was 4 of 11 for 49 yards.

And then Thursday night, Gunter had another strong game.

Davante Adams woke up Thursday not knowing if he would be cleared to play after spending a few days in the NFL's concussion protocol. Last season, Jackson rushed for 1,078 yards and eight touchdowns for the Wolf Pack.

The Packers went into the half up 6-3, after settling for field goals on two drives.

Green Bay, which led 6-3 at the half, exploited the Bears' underneath coverage. A run by Cobb and a swing pass to Montgomery came up short, but Rodgers found Cobb in the corner of the end zone for another touchdown and a 26-10 lead. That means a lot of shuttling personnel between plays and not running the ball as much as they try to sharpen their new approach on the practice field. "A lot of times, records like these are achieved in losses, when you're way behind and you've got to battle back".

The Bears also lost right guard Kyle Long in the second quarter to an arm injury.
