Packers Hit New Low in a 10-0 Loss to Bears : Pro football: Green Bay falls to 1-6 and Majkowski is replaced in fourth quarter. One touchdown is plenty for Chicago.

The Chicago Bears did more than chase Green Bay quarterback Don Majkowski around Lambeau Field on Thursday night. They chased him out of the game and beat the Packers, 10-0.

Majkowski was so ineffective against Chicago’s relentless defense--completing three of 16 passes for 32 yards--he was replaced by former Bear quarterback Mike Tomczak in the fourth quarter.

“I really believe it was more of what our defense was doing than less of what their offense was doing,” Bear Coach Mike Ditka said.

“I don’t think Majkowski was gun-shy. He made some big plays at times, but every play he made was called back for whatever reason,” Bear linebacker Mike Singletary said. One of Majkowski’s longest completions was overruled when instant replay showed tight end Ed West had stepped out of bounds.

It was that kind of a night.

“When you have that, I think it’s tough on a quarterback. You begin to try to make things happen. You force things,” Singletary said. Green Bay managed only five first downs and 138 yards of offense and got no farther than the Chicago 43-yard line.

The Bears beat the Packers for the 11th time in their last 13 games. Jim Harbaugh’s eight-yard touchdown pass to James Thornton late in the second quarter and Kevin Butler’s 22-yard field goal early in the fourth sent the Bears (5-2) to a victory after losses to Buffalo and Washington.

The Packers fell to 1-6 with their fourth loss in a row and their 11th in 12 games dating to last season. Green Bay has not been 1-6 since 1986.

“The whole team is struggling,” Majkowski said. “This is absolutely no fun at all. It’s so damn frustrating.”

Packer Coach Lindy Infante, whose team was booed as it left the field at the half and after the game, apologized for the performance.

“Maybe we’ve bottomed out. It might be a reflection on me,” Infante said. “It’s certainly an all-time low.”

Majkowski fumbled a snap out of the shotgun and Richard Dent recovered at the Green Bay 14 with 30 seconds to go in the third quarter.

Chicago just missed a first down and settled for Butler’s 22-yard field goal with 13:48 to play.

Trailing 10-0, the Packers apparently recovered a Chicago fumble on a punt return early in the fourth quarter. But a whistle while the ball was loose blew the play dead and allowed Chicago to maintain possession.

The Bears, whose first two possessions ended on a fumble and interception, scored when Harbaugh hit Thornton for a touchdown with 1:44 left in the first half.

Majkowski was only three for 10 in the first half, and the Packers still have not scored in the first quarter this season.
