Zoe Bell: "Chicago threw it 33 times and still lost by 14—not because Caleb Williams or Rome Odunze weren't brilliant, but because Green Bay's pass rush (5 sacks) turned this into a one-sided affair the scoreline refuses to admit. The Bears abandoned the ground game and paid for it." Sierra Vaughn: "Chicago's 403 yards and 5 touchdowns through the air look like a season-best afternoon, but Green Bay's 6 from Rodgers and a defense that generated 5 sacks in a shootout tells you the Bears are still the better team on paper—their expected win rate all season sits at 60.1 percent—and this loss is the kind of outlier that happens when a superior offense simply runs into one that's hotter."

Green Bay won 51-37, with Aaron Rodgers throwing 6 touchdowns on 20 of 25 passing to beat Caleb Williams and the Bears in a shootout where both offenses moved the ball at will. Williams had his best day of the season with 403 yards and 5 touchdowns, and Rome Odunze caught 9 passes for 163 yards and 3 scores, but it wasn't enough. The difference came on the ground, where Green Bay rushed for 48 yards to Chicago's 33, and on the edges, where the Packers sacked Williams 5 times while the Bears got to Rodgers once.

Caleb Brooks: "Atlanta's ground game was the difference. Green Bay threw for 407 yards and 5 touchdowns but managed 3 rushing yards, and Bijan Robinson ran for 157 and 2 scores to carry the Falcons past a Pack offense that had to do everything through the air." Kayla James: "Jordan Love threw 5 touchdown passes in a losing effort—that's the cruelest arithmetic in football, and it says everything about Green Bay's 1-2 spot right now."

Atlanta beat Green Bay 42-34 in a shootout where the ground game decided it. Bijan Robinson ran for 157 yards and 2 touchdowns on 12 carries while the Packers managed 3 rushing yards total, then leaned entirely on Jordan Love's arm—he completed 21 of 37 for 407 yards and 5 touchdowns. Ty Simpson went 30 of 51 for 365 yards and 2 scores for Atlanta, which outgained Green Bay 549 to 410 and sacked Love's replacement twice while taking none themselves. Both teams sit at 1-2.
