All the action from Green Bay’s win in Chicago
The Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears had their first meeting of the 2024 season in Chicago on Sunday afternoon. In Caleb Williams’ debut against his biggest rivals in the league, he kept the Bears in it until the very end, but the Packers came out victorious after blocking the would-be game-winning field goal. Take a look at the highlights from both sides of the ball.

The Packers offense started hot, getting the ball out quickly and taking advantage of a lackluster Bears run defense. Jordan Love caught the Bears (who were also offsides) with 12 men on the field, and threw a dart to Jayden Reed in the endzone for the first points of the game.

Preston Smith’s replacement, Brenton Cox, had a tackle for a loss earlier in the game, and keeps it going with a big sack on Bears QB Caleb Williams.

The Packers were in prime position to extend their lead, and Jordan Love made a very weird throw right into the arms of Bears’ DB Terell Smith. NOT IDEAL.
Caleb Williams has legs, apparently

During the first half of play, the Packers just keep letting the #1 overall pick run, and run, and run. I’ve always said Caleb Williams is just Michael Vick in a different skinsuit.
For the first time in one month, the Bears find the endzone

The Packers made it difficult (or did they make it easy?), but after a ton of dramatics, the Bears found the endzone for the first time in 25 drives. Bears on top, 10-7.

Xavier McKinney, your ankles? Are they okay? Evan Williams? Let us know when you come back from your trip to the moon.

On a dangerous pass by Jordan Love into double coverage, Christian Watson comes up big with an incredible catch. Can the Packers re-take the lead?

Jordan Love attempted to run the ball in for the score, but the Bears stopped him from getting there, and the play results in a turnover on downs.

Despite a challenge by the Bears in hopes that the call would be overturned, the catch stands. Can the Packers seal the deal in the redzone this time?

The Packers get Love into the endzone, but fail on their 2-point try, and only lead by one. Can they hold off the Bears for one more drive? I have stress diarrhea.

As the Bears prepared to beat the Packers for the first time in 5 years, with a very makeable field goal, Karl Brooks got his hands on the ball. Field goal = denied. Packers win!
