Watch: Bears' Leonard Floyd Strips Aaron Rodgers, Recovers In End Zone For TD

By Ryan Mayer--

(CBS Local) Bears rookie linebacker Leonard Floyd had just 0.5 sacks going into Thursday's contest against the Green Bay Packers. That has changed, as Floyd has made his impact on the game in a big way.

On a late first-half drive, Floyd drug down Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers for the first full sack of his career. Green Bay went on to get a field goal later in that drive.

So in the third quarter, Floyd decided he wouldn't only end the Packers' drive but also put points on the board for his Bears in the process. He had a sack, strip for a fumble and recovered the ball in the end zone to give Chicago the lead.

That was the first touchdown scored in the game and it gave the Bears a 10-6 lead early in the third quarter.
