The Packers entered Week 1 against the Bears with a banged up receiving corps, but that didn't seem to bother quarterback Aaron Rodgers in a 31-23 victory. With Jordy Nelson (knee) out for the season and Randall Cobb (shoulder) at less than 100 percent, Rodgers tossed for three touchdowns in the season-opening win.
Rodgers' first touchdown pass came with 43 seconds left in the first quarter, as he connected with James Jones for the first of two touchdowns to the veteran receiver. Jones' 13-yard touchdown catch gave Green Bay a 7-3 lead.
Rodgers found Jones, who was signed last week after the Giants released him, again early in the third quarter for a 1-yard touchdown to put Green Bay ahead 17-13. Rodgers' final touchdown went to Randall Cobb with 10:26 left in the fourth quarter, giving Green Bay a 24-16 lead.
Rodgers completed 18 of 23 passes for 189 yards. He added another 35 yards on the ground.
The Packers are back in action Week 2 vs. Seattle.
