Head Coach Mike McCarthy didn't need to watch the film on Monday morning to know this, but the team's struggles in pass protection against the Chicago Bears on Sunday night are definitely the top concern heading into Week 2.

"We've got work to do," McCarthy said.

After quarterback Aaron Rodgers was hardly touched in roughly six quarters of play in the four preseason games, the second-year starter took a considerable pounding from Chicago's defense, which showed it isn't as much in decline as some analysts have suggested.

Rodgers was sacked four times as the Bears registered a total of nine quarterback hits. Two of those sacks and at least a couple of the other hits were surrendered by right tackle Allen Barbre, who was making his first NFL start and had trouble with Chicago defensive ends Adewale Ogunleye and Mark Anderson throughout the night.

But McCarthy said on Monday that he's not making any changes on the offensive line for this Sunday's game..
