Green Bay, Wisconsin
Packers 35 - Bears 21
The Packers have locked up the number one seed and home-field advantage in the 2011 playoffs with the victory over the rival Chicago Bears Christmas evening. Aaron Rodgers dominated the Bears defense throwing five touchdowns before being replaced by Matt Flynn. Jordy Nelson caught six passes from Rodgers for 115 yards and hauled in two touchdowns. James Jones also caught two touchdowns with 50 receiving yards.
Aaron Rodgers also set another Packers record during this game. Rodgers passed Lynn Dickey's single-season franchise record of 4,458 yards passing yards. What is impressive is the fact there is still one game remaining in the season and he has already surpassed this record. Of course, there is a chance Aaron won't even play next week against the Detroit Lions.

A couple of other notes from this game. The Packers had zero accepted penalties for the entire game for the first time since November 1990. This game was also the Packers 300th consecutive sellout including the playoffs. Impressive. You know what also is impressive? Putting up 35 points on the usual stingy Bears defense.
Mike McCarthy: "Thirty-five points on that defense, that's a good night."
