Bears maul Manziel; Packers picked apart in first divisional meeting

In a divisional matchup between two of the more talkative owners, Helldawg's Bears stayed true to their word in the smack talk department and handled Chrebet's Packers in a convincing 33-7 victory.  Johnny Manziel was out of his rhythm for much of the game struggling to deliver tight spirals in what was anticipated to be a Packers victory.  Packers runningback Andrew Hale had 2 fumbles that led to points for the Bears, while Johnny was an ineffective 8/17 for just 116 yards and an interception.  Dynamic receivers Cordarrelle Patterson and Brandin Cooks were held to a combined 3 catches for 35 yards.  The real surprise comes in the form of the efficiency levels shown by Nick Foles and Tarvaris Jackson, even after the early loss of 6'7” safety valve Joe Fauria after he couldn't play through multiple injuries.  Foles and Jackson combined for 256 passing yards, 1 touchdown, and a 78% completion percentage.  Nick Foles suffered a pinched nerve and had to rest for recovery for the end of the second quarter and the entirety of the third quarter.  The offense never lost pace as Jackson's first pass was a beautifully thrown 82-yard strike to Marvin Jones who continues to have his quietly strong first season with the Bears.  Safety D.J. Swearinger had another strong week with the Bears' interception as well as a key sack knocking the Packers out of field goal range.
