GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – The road to the Super Bowl will go through Lambeau Field. The Green Bay Packers clinched the top seed in the NFC Playoffs with a 13-3 record after defeating the Chicago Bears 35-16 at Soldier Field on Sunday.
Aaron Rodgers continued to make his case for another MVP award this season with a perfect first half, completing all ten of his passes – three for touchdowns. He finished the game 19/24 with 240 yards and 4 TD’s. Rodgers joined Peyton Manning as the only players to throw for at least 45 touchdowns in multiple seasons. He now has 48, surpassing his previous high of 45 in his first MVP season of 2011.
Davante Adams broke Sterling Sharpe’s franchise record for receptions in a season and tied his mark for touchdown catches in a year. Adams had six receptions to bump his total to 115 and surpass Sharpe’s mark of 112 in 1993. His 6-yard score late in the game gave him 18 TD’s, matching Sharpe’s team record in 1994.
The Packers will get a first-round bye in the playoffs.
A Los Angeles Rams win over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, however, gave the Bears a spot in the playoffs as well.
