Big Ten: Packers-Bears noteworthy numbers

minus-12: Green Bay’s total yardage in the first quarter. That was the Packers’ fewest yards in a quarter since they had minus-22 in the third quarter of a 1994 game against the Eagles.

0: Snaps by inside linebackers not named Blake Martinez. To make up for it, Raven Greene played 56 as a third safety/dime linebacker.

1: Touchdown pass by Aaron Rodgers. The noted Bear-killer has thrown a total of two touchdown passes in his last four starts at Soldier Field.

5: Plays of more than 10 yards by Green Bay. Chicago had five plays of more than 20 yards.

6: Times Chicago started possessions at its 15-yard line or worse. After getting excellent field position for its first two drives, the final 10 drives had an average starting point of the 16.5-yard line. J.K. Scott's big night punting and a stout defense played the type of complementary football that coaches love.

9: Passes defensed by the Packers. They never broke up more than seven in a game last season. Tramon Williams and Jaire Alexander had two apiece.

9.5: The average distance of Green Bay’s 12 third-down plays. It’s little wonder why the Packers were a woeful 2-of-12 on third-down opportunities.

10: Quarterback pressures by Packers outside linebacker Za’Darius Smith. That’s the most by a Packers defender since Clay Matthews had 10 against Philadelphia in Week 1 of the 2010 season, according to Pro Football Focus. Smith’s previous career high was seven.

11: Quarterback hits by the Packers, according to the official stats. Green Bay finished 30th in the league with 72 quarterback hits last season.

34: Snaps by No. 2 tight end Marcedes Lewis. Last year’s forgotten free-agent signing, Lewis didn’t play more than 23 snaps in any game last season and averaged 11.9 per game. He caught two passes for 14 yards after catching three passes for 39 yards last year.

39: Rushing yards by Aaron Jones (13 carries, 39 yards) and Jamaal Williams (five carries, 0 yards). By our count, 37 of those came after contact.

40: The distance the Bears faced on a third-down play early in the fourth quarter. According to Pro Football Reference, since 1994, there have been only 19 instances of third-and-40 (or longer). You’ll be shocked to know that none of those teams moved the chains.

203: Passing yards for Rodgers. The Packers hadn’t won a game with Rodgers throwing for 203 or fewer yards and one or fewer touchdowns since a 2012 game against Detroit – a stretch of 10 consecutive losses.

213: Total yards by the Packers. Green Bay hadn’t won a game with 213 or fewer yards since the final game of the 2001 season against Minnesota. During the Rodgers era, the Packers were 0-7 when gaining less than 225 yards.
