The Green Bay Packers dismantled the Chicago Bears 31-7, and for the first time this season, we finally got a glimpse of what this offense can be when Jordan Love has time to throw.

Matt LaFleur made a massive adjustment, increasing play-action usage to 41.2% of dropbacks, more than doubling Green Bay's average through the first three weeks. Jordan Love responded with 245 yards on play-action passes alone, while Christian Watson and Matthew Golden combined for 266 receiving yards.

But it wasn't just the offense. Jonathan Gannon's defense completely shut down Chicago's rushing attack, and the Packers' secondary continues to emerge as one of the most exciting parts of this team.

In today's episode of PackersNow, we break down:

  • Why play action completely transformed the Packers offense

  • Christian Watson's incredible start to the 2026 season

  • Matthew Golden's emergence as a legitimate deep threat

  • Why Mark Redman has become one of Brian Gutekunst's most important additions

  • How Jonathan Gannon is weaponizing Green Bay's secondary

  • The devastating season-ending injury to Javon Hargrave

  • Why the Packers' rushing offense remains a major concern

  • Kevin Zeitler's potential impact at right guard

  • Why empty formations are doing Jordan Love no favors

  • The latest on Micah Parsons' potential return

The Packers finally looked like the team we expected them to be. Now the question is whether they can build on this performance against tougher competition.
