GREEN BAY, Wis. -- On a night when defenses dominated the NFL's most storied rivalry, the Packers got creative -- and it worked.
Punter Tim Masthay and backup tight end Tom Crabtree combined for a touchdown on a fake field goal in the second quarter, and the Green Bay Packers rattled and robbed Jay Cutler in a 23-10 victory over the Chicago Bears at Lambeau Field on Thursday.
Cutler threw four interceptions, including a pair to Tramon Williams. Facing a fierce Packers pass rush all night, Cutler was sacked seven times, including 3 ½ for Clay Matthews. New Bears wide receiver Brandon Marshall was held to two catches for 24 yards.
"Clay was incredible," Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers said. "Defense causing turnovers, if they play like that we're going to be tough to beat."
The Bears also lost running back Matt Forte to an ankle injury.
The Packers rebounded from a season-opening loss to San Francisco.
