CHICAGO -- The Green Bay Packers (http://espn.go.com/nfl/team/_/name/gb/green-bay-packers)' fall from grace can be boiled down to a pair of plays midway through the third quarter Monday night at Soldier Field.
On a third down from the Chicago Bears (http://espn.go.com/nfl/team/_/name/chi/chicago-bears)' 15-yard line, quarterback Aaron Rodgers (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=8439) rifled a pass past two defenders and into the arms of tight end Jermichael Finley (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=11325) in the end zone. Touchdown? Nope. A whistle. Right tackle Mark Tauscher (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=2355) was holding.
Two players later, on fourth down, Bears defensive lineman Julius Peppers (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=3530) burst through a hole in the Packers' protection to block Mason Crosby (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=10636)'s 37-yard field goal attempt.
