In the first quarter with 8:54 remaining, the Chicago Bears took an early lead against the Green Bay Packers with a 50-yard field goal by Cairo Santos. The Packers' offensive efforts were hampered by an injury to wide receiver Romeo Doubs, who is questionable to return due to a chest injury, and Nate Davis of the Bears is also questionable with a foot injury. Despite the setback, Packers quarterback Jordan Love showed poise in the pocket, but the team failed to capitalize on their drives when Anders Carlson missed a 41-yard field goal attempt. The Bears' defense, led by DeMarcus Walker with a crucial sack, has held strong against a Packers offense that has managed 5 tackles for loss (TFL) and 2 sacks, keeping the score at 3-0 in favor of the Bears.
#Packers WR Romeo Doubs (chest) questionable to return
Romeo Doubs' return is questionable because of a chest injury.

Romeo Doubs (chest) is questionable to return.
You can see how everything has slowed down for #Packers Jordan Love. He’s patient, comfortable in the pocket, consistently looking downfield, making special throws off schedule.

Romeo Doubs is back in after spending time in the sideline tent.
After one https://t.co/ikJ7h3FjL0
DeMarcus Walker with a key third-down sack of Love, forcing Packers to try a 41-yard FG that Anders Carlson misses. Packers moved the ball and Aaron Jones is gonna be a problem, but defense bends, not breaks. It's 3-0 with 2:36 left in first quarter.
Wow. Sigh. #GoPackGo
Jordan Love is sacked on third down and Anders Carlson misses the 41-yard field goal wide left. Special teams continue to hurt the Packers.
Carlson misses. #Bears defense holds.
DeMarcus Walker sack on 3rd down short circuits GB drive. Anders Carlson FG attempt from 41 yards is wide left.
D WALK 😤 https://t.co/YXuXVFFjOm
#Bears send the blitz. Jordan Love hits Aaron Jones for the first down.
Doinks in! #CHIvsGB
#Packers hold for a FG after Bears got it to the +26. GB linebackers getting put in tough spots on play-action from Chicago, but wet field helped a couple plays with Bears ball-carriers slipping.
Bears take a 3-0 lead over Green Bay --- so there's hope....
Cairo Santos 50 yd FG attempt from left hash is good and #Bears strike first, lead 3-0 with 8:54 remaining 1st qtr.
Cairo Santos is good from 50. #Bears take a 3-0 lead.
