Well, an Aaron Rodgers injury opened an opportunity for the Chicago Bears, and they did make use of it, beating the Green Bay Packers 27-20.

With all NFC North teams having played 8 games the Lions, Bears, and Packers are in a three way tie at 5-3 (the Vikings are last and least at 1-7). Next up for the Bears: A home game on Sunday against Detroit. It turns out Jay Cutler’s injury is less severe than feared and he plans to start on Sunday. The Bears will need him and every other trick in their offensive arsenal to outscore Matt Stafford and the Lions.
