Chicago fell to 8-8 but got into the playoffs anyway because the Rams beat the Cardinals.

QB Aaron Rodgers was 19-of-24 for 240 yards and four TDs for a 147.9 passer rating. He finished the regular season with 48 TD passes, a new franchise record, breaking his own mark of 45 set back in 2011.

WR Davante Adams caught six passes for 46 yards and a score. His 115 receptions on the season broke Sterling Sharpe's team record of 112, and Adams also tied Sharpe's mark of 18 TDs in one season.

The Packers also got 11 carries for 42 yards and a TD from RB Aaron Jones, while TE Robert Tonyan caught two passes for 18 yards and a TD, his 11th on the season, tying the single-season club record for a tight end.

WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling added a 72-yard TD reception and TE Dominique Dafney had a TD catch, becoming the team-record 11th different player this year to catch a TD pass.

Rodgers threw three first-half TDs and was on the verge of a fourth, but Marquez Valdes-Scantling dropped a deep one early in the second half. That began a momentum shift to the Bears, who pulled within 21-16 and had a long drive going for a possible go-ahead score in the fourth quarter.

But Chicago, having converted its first four fourth-down opportunities on the day, failed on a fourth-and-1 pass to WR Allen Robinson, and the Packers took over from there. Adams got his record-tying TD to make it 28-16, and then an Adrian Amos interception set up Jones' score to make it 35-16 and put the game away.

Bears QB Mitch Trubisky finished 33-of-42 for 252 yards with an INT for an 81.7 rating.

RB David Montgomery had 22 carries for 69 yards and a TD and added nine catches for 63 yards. WR Darnell Moooney added 11 receptions for 93 yards for the Bears.

Here's a recap of all the action:
