Love throws for 367 yards as Packers force five turnovers in 31-7 win over Bears

Jordan Love threw for 367 yards and Christian Watson caught two touchdown passes as Green Bay beat Chicago 31-7 Sunday at Lambeau Field. The Packers forced five turnovers and scored the game's final 17 points after taking a 14-7 lead into halftime.

Watson finished with six catches for 143 yards. His 42-yard touchdown opened the scoring, and his 53-yard catch on third-and-22 restored Green Bay's control early in the third quarter. That second score came one play after an offensive pass interference penalty erased a touchdown pass to J. Michael Sturdivant. Love went back downfield, and Watson reached over Dillon Thieneman to make the catch.

Love completed 25 of 31 passes with two touchdowns and no interceptions. Matthew Golden caught six passes for 123 yards, including a 50-yard gain in the fourth quarter, while Tucker Kraft added five catches for 64 yards. Golden also caught the two-point conversion that made it 31-7.

MarShawn Lloyd supplied both rushing touchdowns, the first two of his NFL career. His seven-yard run gave Green Bay a 14-0 lead four seconds into the second quarter. He scored again from four yards on the first play of the fourth quarter and finished with 31 yards on 10 carries.

Chicago's only touchdown came on D'Andre Swift's one-yard run on fourth-and-goal late in the first half. Swift had 43 rushing yards on nine attempts. The Bears then failed to score on every possession after halftime.

Tyson Bagent started with Caleb Williams sidelined by a hamstring injury. Bagent completed 12 of 21 passes for 87 yards and threw two interceptions, both to Xavier McKinney. Case Keenum replaced him early in the fourth quarter, but Ty'Ron Hopper intercepted Keenum on fourth-and-goal to stop Chicago's next scoring chance.

Green Bay also recovered two fumbles. Zaire Franklin forced one after a Rome Odunze catch, and Devonte Wyatt's strip sack produced the other. Those takeaways helped the Packers finish the afternoon without allowing Chicago back into the game.

The win moved Green Bay to 3-2 and left Chicago with the same record. Packers receiver Skyy Moore left with an ankle injury and did not return. Bears linebacker T.J. Edwards suffered a hamstring injury, while Dayo Odeyingbo and Tyrique Stevenson also left with injuries.
