The Packers clinched the 2012 NFC North division crown for the second consecutive season after beating the rival Chicago Bears at Soldier Field.  Aaron Rodgers threw three touchdowns, all thrown to James Jones.  Rodgers finished the day with 291 yards passing to go along with his three touchdowns.  Jones had a great day receiving and so did Randall Cobb who caught six balls for 115 yards.

The defense controlled the Bears offense the whole game.  Bears quarterback Jay Cutler was sacked four times including two by Clay Matthews.  Cutler also threw an interception to rookie Casey Hayward which killed the last hope the Bears had at winning this game.

After a 2-3 start to the season, the Packers rebounded perfectly to capture the division title and are still in the discussion for the second seed in the NFC playoffs.

Green Bay Packers  10-4
Minnesota Vikings  8-6
Chicago Bears  8-6
Detroit Lions  4-10
