NOTES AND ANALYSIS
* And there's the pass to TE Jermichael Finley out of that base I set with him split wide right. It appeared that was a run-pass option.

* This one is dead and buried after Hunter's fumble return for a touchdown. It was a fine shotgun snap on fourth down, and Orton simply dropped it. Credit LB Brandon Chillar with getting enough of RB Matt Forte around the Bears 40 to let Hunter go the distance.

* Bring on the reserves. Rex Grossman and Adrian Peterson are in for Orton and Forte.

* After a Bears turnover on downs, the Packers offense is back on the field -- and though Tony Moll and Josh Sitton are in on the line, Aaron Rodgers and Ryan Grant remain in the game.

* Yet even behind that line, Brandon Jackson rips off a 19-yard run, getting Crosby in position to tack on three more.

I'm packing it in for now. This one was a blasting, and unless Minnesota comes back in the final 2 minutes at Tampa Bay, we're going to have a three-way tie atop the NFC North Division.
