The Bears and Packers broke into a skirmish less than 10 minutes into the game Sunday, sparked by Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander pushing quarterback Justin Fields out of bounds at the end of an eight-yard scramble.

Alexander appeared to make contact with Fields while he was still in bounds, was not flagged for the play and didn’t hit Fields hard enough to knock him to the ground, but offensive linemen Lucas Patrick and Cody Whitehair immediately confronted Alexander and the incident mushroomed. Bears wide receiver Chase Claypool and Packers defensive tackle T.J. Slaton got offsetting personal fouls.
