GREEN BAY – In a span of three possessions sandwiching halftime Sunday, the Bears scored 16 of their 19 points.

Had it not been for the touchdown the Packers scored in the midst of that Chicago run, it would've been difficult for Green Bay to give itself a chance to pull out the 20-19 win.

So that's why the six-play, 70-yard scoring march in the third quarter is the Chevy Drive of the Week.

The Bears had just extended their halftime lead by three points, to 13-7, early in the third quarter when the Packers answered swiftly and efficiently.

Green Bay didn't even need a third down on the drive, and the toughest situation it faced was second-and-7 after a 3-yard run by RB Josh Jacobs on the opening play.

That proved to be no problem as Jacobs caught a swing pass out of the backfield, got a good block on the outside and gained 21 yards. A defensive offside preceded a 4-yard run by RB Emanuel Wilson and a 5-yard run by Jacobs for a first down at the Chicago 32.

That's where QB Jordan Love hit WR Christian Watson for 25 yards down the sideline, making it first-and-goal. It was one of Watson's four receptions totaling 150 yards on the day.

From there, Jacobs ran right up the gut for a 7-yard touchdown, the milestone 50th rushing TD of his career, and the Packers had regained the lead at 14-13.
