The Green Bay Packers defeated the Chicago Bears 35-21 at Lambeau Field in Green Bay Wisconsin in an NFL football game on Christmas Day to lock up home field advantage as the number one seed in the NFL play-offs and to go 14-1 on the 2011 season.
I had an okay game, but not a great game. I was blocked on what could have been a few nice shots as players got upended, but that’s the way it goes. Aaron Rodgers had a career high five passes for touchdowns. I long for the excitement that Brett Favre would show when he threw a touchdown. Aaron doesn’t look much different when things go good or bad. Aaron is calm, cool and collected at all times.
Thanks for looking at my photos from the game!
