The Chicago Bears topped the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving.
The Chicago Bears pulled off a huge upset on Thursday night, beating the Green Bay Packers 17-13 at a soggy Lambeau Field. Despite being huge underdogs, the Bears found a way to beat Aaron Rodgers and Co. Rodgers was terrible most of the night, throwing a bad interception to Tracy Porter and misfiring multiple times at open receivers.
For Chicago, it is now 5-6 and still has hopes of making a run toward the NFC playoffs. For the Packers, this is their fourth loss in five games and drops them to 7-4 on the season, a half-game behind the Minnesota Vikings.

Three Stars
1. Alshon Jeffery
This has been an injury-marred season for Jeffery, but he was able to put up a nice night against Green Bay on primetime. Jeffery caught seven passes for 90 yards, giving Jay Cutler a consistently open target all night long.
2. Eddie Lacy
Lacy did have a costly fumble in the first half, but he played terrific football otherwise. The hulking running back ran for 105 yards on 17 carries and caught four passes for 34 yards and a touchdown. Lacy has endured an uneven season in his third campaign, but this was a good night for the Alabama product.
3. Jay Cutler
Cutler was nothing spectacular, but he got the job done against a good team on the road in bad weather. Cutler was able to complete 19-of-31 throws for 200 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions. Cutler gets plenty of blame when things go wrong, but he was solid on Thanksgiving.
Odds
The Packers were favored by eight points at home and did not cover the spread against the Bears.
Next Week
Green Bay visits the Detroit Lions on Thursday night while Chicago takes on the San Francisco 49ers at Soldier Field.
