Without much blitzing from the rest of the defense, the Bears’ defensive line was able to put good pressure on Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Two of the four sacks recorded by the defense came from the defensive line. Roy Robertson-Harris was responsible for one of those sacks, as well as blowing up a play in the backfield that resulted in Chicago’s defensive touchdown late in the second quarter. Akiem Hicks registered the other sack, and also had a forced fumble.
