GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Aaron Rodgers set a record. The Chicago Bears lost another quarterback.After a slow start in the red zone, the Green Bay Packers picked up the pace in the second half to overpower their offensively-challenged NFC North rivals.Rodgers threw for 326 yards and three touchdowns, Davante Adams and Ty Montgomery emerged as playmakers in the second half and Packers beat the Bears 26-10 on Thursday night.Rodgers was 39 of 56, setting a franchise mark for completions in a game. It was the Packers first contest without injured running back Eddie Lacy .A lot of moving parts, a very satisfying victory at home, coach Mike McCarthy said.The Packers (4-2) moved effectively on short gains most of the night, but couldnt break into the end zone until Adams caught the first of his two touchdown receptions with 9:11 left in the third quarter for a 13-10 lead.Rodgers and Adams combined again for a 4-yard score on the first play of fourth quarter for a 10-point lead.The Bears (1-6) lost quarterback Brian Hoyer to a broken left arm in the second quarter. With Jay Cutler already out with a right thumb injury, Chicago turned to third-stringer Matt Barkley.An offense that was already 31st in the league in scoring got worse. Barkley was 6 of 15 for 81 yards and two interceptions.Well, when you lose your starting quarterback it can be disruptive, Bears coach John Fox said. Its not an excuse, its just a reality,He tried to lean on the rush against the NFLs third-best run defense. It didnt work either.Kadeem Carey had 48 yards on 10 carries, including a 24-yarder. Receiver Alshon Jeffery was held to three catches for 33 yards against a Packers secondary without its top three cornerbacks because of injuries.It got so bad for the Bears that Rodgers had more completions (37) than the Bears had offensive plays (36) by 5:31 of the fourth quarter.That 37th completion for Rodgers was a 2-yard touchdown pass to Randall Cobb for a 16-point lead.Adams, Montgomery and Cobb each finished with at least 10 receptions.HOYER HURTHoyer left early in the second quarter after getting hit by Julius Peppers and Clay Matthews on an incompletion on third-and-6 from midfield. The right-handed Hoyer looked as if he landed on his left arm . He was attended to by trainers on the field for a couple minutes before going to the locker room. Hoyer was 4 of 11 for 49 yards.TRIPLE THREATAdams had 13 catches for a career-high 132 yards, making Jordy Nelson-like moves to spin out of tackles for extra yards. Adams had just been cleared earlier Thursday from the NFLs concussion protocol after leaving the loss Sunday to Dallas.Cobb finished with 11 catches for 95 yards.Montgomery, who got the start in the backfield with running backs Lacy (ankle) and James Starks (knee) out, finished with 10 catches for 66 yards, and nine carries for 60 yards.You do what you have to do, you play the way you have to play, McCarthy said.BIG FLOYDThe Bears only touchdown came from rookie pass-rushing linebacker Leonard Floyd, who forced Rodgers to fumble on third-and-10 from the 15 on a sack. Floyd recovered the ball in the end zone for a 10-6 lead, 30 seconds into the third quarter.Floyd had been limited in practice this week with a calf injury.Hes got those kind of abilities. Its been problematic a little bit having him out there, but it was good to have him back out there tonight, Fox said.The Packers scored touchdowns on their next three drives.SLOW STARTThe Packers moved effectively with short passes in the first half but stalled on three drives inside the 22. Mason Crosby salvaged two series with field goals, but the Packers went scoreless on another drive when Montgomery was stopped on a fourth-and-goal run from the 1.Green Bay, which led 6-3 at the half, exploited the Bears underneath coverage. They also threw short passes as a substitute for the running game.QUOTABLE:It means we threw it a lot. But a lot of times records like these are achieved in losses when youre way behind, Rodgers about his completions record.INJURY REPORTBears: Besides Hoyer, RG Kyle Long left in the second quarter with an arm injury.Packers: RB Don Jackson, who was just activated from the practice squad Thursday to replace Lacy, left in the first quarter with a hand injury.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Genaro Armas at: https://twitter.com/GArmasAP Ray Ban Sunglasses Sale Online . Brad Jacobs and his Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., team took control of the game early. Wholesale Ray Ban Sunglasses . -- The St. Johns IceCaps weathered a wild first period with the help of goaltender Jussi Olkinuora, before finding offensive inroads in the second. http://www.discountrayban.com/ .com) - Manchester City midfielder David Silva is expected to miss the next four weeks because of a calf problem. Discount Ray Ban Aviator Sale . The 26-year-old Ireland striker, who has four goals this season, has signed a three-and-a-half year contract with his new club. Ray Ban Sunglasses Deals . Reassurance came from Paul Tesori, his caddie and close friend whose newborn son is in intensive care in a Florida hospital. "Paul sent me a text this morning, just told me he loved me and wanted to go out and fight as hard as I would any other day," Simpson said Sunday after doing just that. One day after signing captain Steven Stamkos to an eight-year contract to keep him from venturing into free agency, the Tampa Bay Lightning inked top defenseman Victor Hedman to an eight-year deal of his own.The extension, which the team announced Friday, will kick in at the start of the 2017-18 season and will pay Hedman $63 million, or $7.875 million annually.Victor has matured into one of the top defensemen in the NHL, and coming off the recent re-signing of our captain, Steven Stamkos, weve secured another extremely important member of our team, general manager Steve Yzerman said in a statement. Im very appreciative of both Victor and [agent] Peter Wallens efforts to reach an agreement with us at this time.Hedman tweeted about the extension Friday.Hedman, 25, had 10 goals and 37 assists for the Lightning last season, his seventh in the NHL. He has 49 goals and 180 assists in 470 career NHL games. The Lightning drafted Hedman with the No. 2 overall pick in 2009.Yzerman wasnt done with his heavy lifting with the Hedman contract. The team also announced Friday afternoon it has signed netminder Andrei Vasilevskiy to a three-year extension.Vasilevskiy, a 21-year-old who played well in relief of the injured Ben Bisshop in the Eastern Conference finals against Pittsburgh, will earn an average of $3.dddddddddddd5 million annually over the three years of the contract.Its been a good week for us, Yzerman said.The extension provides further evidence that the team might look to move Bishop, 29, who will be entering the final year of his contract next season.Meanwhile, Stamkos, 26, will receive $8.5 million annually on his deal, which begins in 2016-17.?Combined, the Lightning have locked up their two most important assets for the foreseeable future, and both at average annual incomes that will, in theory, make it easier for Yzerman to re-sign other important Lightning players in the future, such as?Ondrej Palat, Tyler Johnson and Alex Killorn.The signings will reinforce the notion that the Lightning will once again be considered a Stanley Cup contender next season. They lost in the finals to the Chicago Blackhawks in 2015 and were defeated in the Eastern Conference finals this year in seven games by the eventual Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins.The Associated Press contributed to this report.
