The game changed when...

Green Bay Packers free safety Darnell Savage (26).

…Darnell Savage intercepted rookie Justin Fields in the end zone to end the Bears’ second drive. Chicago was already up 7-0 and driving for another score, but Fields thought he had a free play and threw one up for grabs. Officials didn’t call offsides, and Savage ran down the poor throw in the end zone. The Packers got the ball back, went down the field and scored to tie the game. It was the start of a 17-0 run for Green Bay.

…Packers defensive lineman Kenny Clark beat a double team and sacked Fields on the Bears’ final drive of the fourth quarter. The sack set up 4th-and-26, and Fields’ desperation throw into the end zone fell incomplete. Up 10 points, the Packers took over and killed the rest of the fourth-quarter clock.

What it means

This was another big win, especially on the road against a division rival. Despite a few major injuries, the Packers are 5-1 overall and 2-0 in the division, with a two-game lead in the NFC North after six weeks. Once again, Matt LaFleur’s team overcame a rough start early and a few more in-game injuries to beat the Bears at Soldier Field, where the Packers have won 11 of the last 12 games. It’s very early, but Green Bay is charting a path towards a third straight NFC North title.

Play of the game: "I still own you!"

Rodgers screamed, “I still own you! I still own you!” to the crowd at Soldier Field after giving the Packers a 10-point lead late in the fourth quarter on a touchdown run.

What's next

The Packers will welcome the Washington Football Team to Lambeau Field next Sunday. Last year’s NFC East champion, Washington is now 2-4 after losing to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. The Packers will be wearing their new throwback uniforms.
