The first Sunday night game of the 2018 season did not disappoint. The NFL's oldest rivalry added a new chapter that will go down as one of its most memorable. It all started with the $141 million man having a start that exceeded the hype of his new deal. Bears LB Khalil Mack had a strip sack and an electrifying pick-six by halftime to help the Bears go up 17-0.
NFL Twitter, much like Mack, went absolutely nuts. From LeBron James to Brian Urlacher, here's how #NFLTwitter reacted to Mack's monster first half.

The Packers seemed doomed after Rodgers went down with a knee injury in the second quarter. To make matters worse, the Bears scored a field goal to go up 20-0 at the start of the third. Then Rodgers returned and did what he does best. The two-time NFL MVP threw three TDs in the second half including a 75-yard connection with Randall Cobb to give the Packers a 24-23 lead.
Here's how NFL Twitter reacted to Rodgers leading the Packers to their thrilling 24-23 comeback victory.
