There were a fair share of big plays in the Green Bay Packers' week one victory over the Chicago Bears, but none was bigger than linebacker Clay Matthews' interception of Jay Cutler with four minutes left on the clock. Matthews' pick, which came with the Packers up by eight, set up an Eddie Lacy touchdown that put the game out of reach.
That play is featured prominently in today's Cheese Curds, as is the play of wide receiver James Jones. The most recent Packers signee, Jones finished second on the team in receptions and yards, but added two huge touchdown catches.
Here's a look at the coverage of yesterday's game and of other games around the NFL.

Don't expect the Packers' defense to be happy after the win; they allowed 189 yards on the ground, including 141 to Matt Forte. Apparently Matthews playing inside isn't a magic potion for stopping the run.

Last year in Chicago, Matthews' interception on a tipped pass helped seal the Packers' win. This year, it was a beautiful play design by Dom Capers and a great individual effort by Matthews that led to the pick and the Packers holding on for the victory.

The Packers showed that they can be equally effective going for quick strikes as well as chewing up the clock, as the team's final touchdown drive lasted for 16 plays and almost ten minutes of game time.
