Introduction
The National Football League (NFL) is the top professional American football league in the United States. It was founded in 1920 as the American Professional Football Association (APFA) before renaming itself the National Football League for the 1922 season. The NFL consists of 32 teams split into two conferences: the American Football Conference (AFC) and the National Football Conference (NFC). Each conference has four divisions that contain four teams each, for a total of 16 teams in each conference. The NFL is played during a 17-week regular season that runs from early September to late December, with each team playing 16 games and having one bye week. At the end of the regular season, six teams from each conference enter the playoffs, a single-elimination tournament culminating in the Super Bowl, which is usually held in early February and is considered to be the biggest annual sporting event in the United States.

The Highlights
The Green Bay Packers took down the Chicago Bears 10-3 in a pre-season game that provided more questions than answers for both teams. While the final score may not have been much to write home about, there were plenty of highlights worth mentioning from both sides.
For the Packers, quarterback Aaron Rodgers looked sharp in his limited action, completing all four of his passes for 56 yards and a touchdown. Second-year running back Aaron Jones also impressed, rushing for 49 yards on just six carries. On defense, rookie cornerback Jaire Alexander made a good impression with two tackles and a pass deflection.
For the Bears, Mitchell Trubisky started at quarterback and played the entire first half. He completed 10 of 15 passes for 128 yards and did not throw a touchdown or an interception. Rookie running back David Montgomery had some bright moments as well, rushing for 47 yards on 11 carries. Montgomery also showed some flashes as a receiver out of the backfield, catching two passes for 30 yards.
