GREEN BAY, WI (12/25/11) – Aaron Rodgers threw for a career-high five touchdown passes as the Green Bay Packers secured home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs with a 35-21 win over the Chicago Bears on Christmas night.
The Packers improved to 14-1 on the season, while Chicago dropped to 7-8. The Bears’ loss clinched at least an NFC Wild Card spot for the Atlanta Falcons, who play at New Orleans on Monday night.
