The Green Bay Packers beat the Chicago Bears 45-30 in the NFL’s oldest rivalry Saturday night.

Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers threw for 341 yards and four  touchdowns, leading the team back after they trailed 27-21 at halftime, scoring the first 24 points in the second half.

However, Rodgers, who’s been playing through a broken toe, said after the game, “It feels worse. I don’t know what kind of setback I had tonight, but we’ll look at it tomorrow. Definitely took a step back tonight.”

Lamar Jackson Injured

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson left Sunday’s game against the Cleveland Browns in the first quarter after suffering an ankle injury.
He was later carted to the locker room and ruled out for the rest of the game, with head coach John Harbaugh saying later that Jackson had a sprained ankle and would undergo tests today to determine the extent of the injury.

Backup Tyler Huntley came into the game, which the Ravens went on to lose 24-22.
