Rodgers, Packers lean on Jones, take care of Bears 27-10

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) - Aaron Jones rushed for 132 yards and a touchdown and caught a scoring pass from Aaron Rodgers, who continued his domination of the Chicago Bears by leading the Green Bay Packers to a 27-10 victory.

Green Bay bounced back from a season-opening 23-7 loss at Minnesota and beat the Bears for a seventh straight time, matching its second-longest win streak in the 205-game history of the NFL’s oldest rivalry.

The Packers built a 24-7 halftime lead by dominating the second period, then made a goal-line stand in the fourth quarter to thwart a Bears comeback attempt.

Rodgers went 19 of 25 for 234 yards and two touchdowns.

1-on-1 with Kenny Clark. The Packers' D gave up an opening TD, but didn't give up another FIRST DOWN until the 2nd half. But he still wasn't happy after some of the long runs given up "It was good that we got a win, but we definitely have to get better in the run game." @WBAY pic.twitter.com/JAtxQNT5XA
