Rodgers, Packers KO Cutler, Bears Advance To Superbowl


Green Bay 21 Chicago 14, the Packers defeated the Bears in Chicago to advance to Superbowl XLV. Green Bay will make their first appearance in the Superbowl since 1996. Chicago was looking to make their second Superbowl in the last five seasons. Green Bay scored all 21 of their points in the first half, then allowed Chicago to get back into the game following a pair of Aaron Rodgers interceptions. Speaking of interceptions, the Packers scored the winning touchdown on a pick six and secured the game off another interception. Chicago used two additional quarterbacks after Jay Cutler was knocked out and couldn't continue in the second half. Green Bay has become the NFC's first six seed to advance to Super Sunday. The Packers were able to win in Philadelphia, Atlanta and Chicago respectively. There has been a total team effort in this run from Rodgers and unknown rookie running back James Starks on offense, to the likes to Raji, Williams, Woodson and Matthews on defense. The Bears won the NFC North however they lost to their rivals twice over the past five weeks.
