The Bears finally win one.

With the exception of Charles Tillman and his two forced fumbles, it wasn't looking good through the first half. But the Bears made good adjustments at half time and came out like a different team, in the first half they missed tackles and Favre completed passes at will, in the second half it was a different story.

The offense still had problems, far too many 3rd and long's but Green Bay helped out keeping drives going with penalties. Griese was efficient, making plays when they were needed, and limiting the mistakes.

I thought the play calling was better, going to the end zone on the first play after the interception was a great call and Ron Turner stayed with the run enough to set up a great play action play resulting in another touchdown. There were also a couple of attempts to stretch the field, but still a lot of run on first, run on second and long and then deal with the resulting 3rd and long. The Bears either need to run the ball better or throw more on first down.

2 and 3 leaves the Bears in contention but there is still a lot of questions to be answered. Hopefully the win at Green Bay and the way they finished the game can provide a spark and get them on a roll. Minnesota at Soldier Field should be an easier game that the Pack at Lambeau.
