It’s been a couple of days and we’ve had a chance to digest what happened in the first game on Sunday Night Football<\/em> this season. If you missed the game, you missed an instant classic.<\/p>\n The Sunday night game between the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers offered everything we love about the game. A great performance from a player proving he should have never been traded, a competitive game that went down to the wire and a comeback that you’d have a hard time scripting.<\/p>\n The old saying a “tale of two halves” has never been more appropriate.<\/p>\n The Packers came out flat despite being at home against a divisional rival. Though we knew Khalil Mack was good, did anybody know he was that<\/em> good?<\/p>\n Mack single-handedly destroyed the Packers in the first half, harassing Rodgers on nearly every play before the star quarterback was knocked out of the game with what appeared to be a serious injury.<\/p>\n Mack then feasted on the backup quarterback, DeShone Kizer, taking the ball right out of his hands for a fumble on one play and then catching a rushed throw and turning it into a pick six moments later.<\/p>\n At the half, the Bears led the game 17-0 and you could literally see the jaws of Packers’ fans having to be picked up off of the ground.<\/p>\n But let’s back track just a bit, back to the injury that knocked Rodgers out of the game. Now, we can debate about how “hurt” he actually was, but it didn’t look good. The cart was brought out and No. 12 had the same dejected look as that was evident on his face last season when he was knocked out by Anthony Barr with a broken collarbone.<\/p>\n
