NFL Game Summary - Chicago at Green Bay

Green Bay, WI (SportsNetwork.com) - The NFL's oldest rivalry wound up being a battle between backup quarterbacks Monday night.

Chicago's Jay Cutler expectedly missed the contest due to a torn muscle in his groin and Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers went down with an injury to his non- throwing shoulder on the game's first possession.

That left Josh McCown and Seneca Wallace at the controls, and the former threw for 272 yards and two touchdowns in leading the Bears to a 27-20 victory over the Packers, effectively ending their long drought at Lambeau Field.

McCown had a bye week to prepare for this key NFC North clash and performed mistake-free while hitting both Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery for TDs.

Matt Forte totaled 179 yards from scrimmage, including 125 on 24 carries, and ran for a touchdown for the Bears (5-3), who won in Green Bay for the first time since Oct. 7, 2007 and created a three-way tie atop the division.

Wallace, in his first meaningful action in two years, was limited to 114 yards and an interception on 11-of-19 passing for the already injury-ridden Packers.

Eddie Lacy ran for 150 yards and a touchdown on 22 touches in the loss, the first at home for Green Bay (5-3) since last year's season opener against San Francisco.
