Aaron Rodgers and Packers on their way to Super Bowl

Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers are on the way to the Super Bowl after beating the Chicago Bears 21-14.  The Packers will try to win their 13th NFL Championship in their first visit to the title game since Brett Favre took them in 1997 when they lost to the John Elway led Denver Broncos.  The Packers lead all of the NFL in championships with three Super Bowl victories and nine championships.

Rodgers, the former Cal Bears quarterback, will make his first appearance in the Super Bowl after leading the #6 seed Green Bay Packers through the playoffs.  Even though Rodgers threw two interceptions, he did enough throughout the game that the Packers defense was able to shut down the Chicago Bears.  B.J. Raji's pick-6 and Sam Shields' two-interception performance were the main reasons why the Bears could not get anything going on the offensive side of the ball.   

It also didn't help that Jay Cutler left the game early in the third quarter with a knee injury.  Todd Collins was brought in and after throwing four incompletions was replaced by the third string quarterback, Caleb Hanie.  Hanie played rather well and brought the Bears to within a touchdown of tying the game.  His only mistake was the interception he threw that was picked off by B.J. Raji and ran back for the touchdown, which included an Aaron Rodgers-like celebration, and ended up being the difference in the game.
