Bears vs Packers Match Score and Stats: Green Bay Embarrasses Chicago 31-7 at Lambeau

Jordan Love passed for 367 yards and two scores while Green Bay crushed a Chicago squad that lacked its starting quarterback. 

October 11, 2026. Lambeau Field. The Chicago Bears walked into Green Bay riding a two-game winning streak. They walked out with a brutal reality check: without Caleb Williams, they cannot compete with their oldest rival.

Green Bay dominated from the opening drive and never let up. The final score — Packers 31, Bears 7 — actually flattered Chicago. This game was over by halftime.

The Bears turned the ball over five times. Their quarterbacks combined for a passer rating of 36.0. The Packers converted those mistakes into 21 points. 

Stats: The Full Box Score

The numbers tell the story of a game that was never close after the first quarter. Chicago actually ran more plays (68 to 59) and held the ball longer, but that’s what happens when you’re trailing and throwing desperation passes.

Possession Time 29:36 30:24

The Bears entered this game averaging 196.3 rushing yards per game — best in the NFL. Green Bay’s defense held them to 81 yards. That’s a 115-yard difference from their season average.

The turnover margin (5-0) is the stat that jumps off the page. You cannot win in the NFL when you give the ball away five times and take it away zero.

Player Stats: Who Showed Up and Who Didn’t

Jordan Love Was Nearly Perfect

The Green Bay signal-caller connected on 25 of his 31 attempts, piling up 367 yards with two scoring strikes and no picks. His passer rating was 137.5. That’s the highest any Packers quarterback has posted against the Bears at Lambeau Field.

Love completed six passes of 30+ yards. He picked apart Chicago’s secondary all afternoon, finding Christian Watson and Matthew Golden for explosive plays repeatedly.

The Bears Quarterback Disaster

Caleb Williams sat out a third consecutive week due to a hamstring issue. The guys filling in for him simply couldn’t get the job done. 

Tyson Bagent started and completed 12 of 21 passes for just 87 yards. He threw two interceptions and posted a passer rating of 27.4 before being benched.

Case Keenum, the 38-year-old veteran, didn’t fare much better. He went 11 of 19 for 108 yards, threw one interception, and lost a fumble on a strip-sack.

Case Keenum 11/19 108 0 1 52.1

Combined passer rating: 36.0. That’s not a typo.

Christian Watson’s Breakout Continues

Watson finished with 6 receptions for 143 yards and 2 touchdowns. His scoring plays went for 42 yards and 53 yards. Both came on deep throws where he outran Chicago’s coverage.

Matthew Golden added 6 catches for 123 yards — a career high. The two receivers combined for 266 yards, which is more than Chicago’s entire passing offense produced (165).

How the Game Unfolded

First Half: Early Knockout

Green Bay scored on their opening drive — a 10-play, 91-yard march capped by Love’s 42-yard touchdown to Watson.

On Chicago’s next possession, Bagent’s pass was deflected by Javon Bullard and intercepted by Xavier McKinney. The Packers converted that turnover into points immediately — MarShawn Lloyd’s 7-yard touchdown run made it 14-0 early in the second quarter.

The Bears’ only bright moment came late in the second quarter. D’Andre Swift scored on a 1-yard run to cap a 16-play, 78-yard drive that consumed 9:10. That made it 14-7 at halftime. It was the only time Chicago looked like a competent offense all day.

Second Half: Complete Collapse

Any hope of a comeback died on Green Bay’s first possession of the third quarter. Facing 3rd-and-22, Love found Watson for a 53-yard touchdown. The coverage was nonexistent. The game was effectively over.

Chicago’s next drive reached the Green Bay 20 before stalling. Cairo Santos missed a 43-yard field goal. The Bears never threatened again.

McKinney’s second interception set up Lloyd’s second touchdown run — a 4-yard score early in the fourth quarter. The two-point conversion made it 31-7.

That’s when Bears coach Ben Johnson pulled Bagent for Keenum. It didn’t matter.

What This Game Means for Both Teams

The Packers Are Back Above .500

Green Bay improved to 3-2 with the win. More importantly, they proved they can dominate a division rival when it matters. After losing three of their previous four against Chicago — including a playoff collapse last January — this was cathartic.

The Packers’ defense forced five turnovers and held the NFL’s best rushing attack to 81 yards. That’s a statement performance.

The Bears Have a Quarterback Problem

Chicago fell to 3-2 and now faces an uncomfortable truth: they are not a playoff team without Caleb Williams.

Williams was spotted throwing before the game and is “on track” to return soon, according to coach Ben Johnson. But “soon” might not be soon enough. The Bears play at Atlanta next week, then have a short week before a Thursday night game against New England.

Keenum was honest after the game: “You don’t last very long in this league if you don’t know how to get back up when you’ve had your ass kicked.”

That’s exactly what happened Sunday.

Bottom Line

Green Bay dominated Chicago in every phase of the game, winning 31-7 behind Jordan Love’s 367 passing yards and a defense that forced five turnovers.

The Bears, playing without starting quarterback Caleb Williams, never stood a chance. Their backup quarterbacks combined for three interceptions and a fumble, and the NFL’s top rushing offense was held 115 yards below its season average.
