The Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Bears added another chapter to their storied rivalry after facing off at Lambeau Field on Sunday. The Packers made mincemeat of the Bears, 31-7, with MarShawn Lloyd, Jordan Love, and Christian Watson starring in the blowout win.
Lloyd had 10 carries for 31 yards and two touchdowns, Love went 25-of-31 for 367 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions, and Watson added six receptions for 143 yards and two touchdowns.
Green Bay improved to 3-2.
Following his impressive performance, the 25-year-old Lloyd made a lovely comment about the Bears on “The Schultz Report.”
“Hate them. Hate them with a passion. But that comes with it. Rivalry is everything. You go through it in college. It's cool to come out on top,” said the third-year running back.
Tugs at the heartstrings.
The Packers lead the all-time head-to-head against the Bears, 110-98-6.
When the former USC standout was asked which he abhors more—Green Bay or Notre Dame—Lloyd had to think for a bit before coming up with an answer.
“The same. Definitely the same. Yeah, for sure. I don't like either one of them,” said Lloyd.
He is looking to stay healthy after a string of injuries hampered his first two years with the Packers. Before this season, he had only appeared in one game.
If his explosive showing against the Bears was any indication, Lloyd should only improve Green Bay's ground attack, which has been an issue.
The Packers will try to notch their third straight win on Sunday against another arch-nemesis, the Dallas Cowboys.
