Scouting Report

Surging Packers host struggling Bears

This should be an excellent matchup between last year's division winner and the present leader in the NFC North. In last week's loss to Detroit, Chicago started an entirely new secondary from its opening day foursome and gave up 37 points. It was also Brian Griese's first game as the starter after taking over for Rex Grossman, but he didn't fare much better. The Packers won a tough one in Minnesota in a game where Brett Favre set the all-time record for touchdown passes thrown. Mike McCarthy is no longer looking for Favre to just manage games. Instead, he needs the future Hall of Famer to go out and win games. So far, Favre is obliging.
