Re-live all the highs and lows from the Packers’ 24-22 loss to the Bears.
Maybe Virginia McCaskey’s 102nd birthday was the good luck charm. For the first time in over 6 years, the Chicago Bears have taken down the Green Bay Packers, and this win came on a last second field goal by Cairo Santos. Re-live all the action as the Packers close out the regular season in Green Bay.
The Packers defense is off to a hot start with a sack by Rashan Gary

After a botched snap by the Bears, Rashan Gary gets the sack on Caleb Williams. The very next play, Javon Bullard would have another tackle for a loss. Ultimately, this Bears drive ended in a three and out, and the Packers get the ball back after an underwhelming first drive.
WELL, OK
BEARS FOOLED THEM ON THE MISDIRECTION PUNT RETURN

The Bears see what is hopefully their only lead of the game after a punt return for a TD. 7-0 Bears, get the Super Bowl banner ready!

The Packers offense is just unable to do anything this first half. With a Jayden Reed fumble, the Bears offense has the ball yet again.
The Packers are losing to the Bears by double digits; it’s fine. I’m fine.

It takes just two plays for the Bears to find their way back into the endzone, and they lead 14-3 after D’Andre Swift’s first touchdown since Week 11. The next drive for the Packers starts off with an absolute gut punch as Christian Watson goes down with a non-contact leg injury.

With Jordan Love on the sideline after suffering an injury to his throwing arm/hand, backup QB Malik Willis leads the team down the field, and Josh Jacobs takes them to the endzone. Packers are within 4. After a Brandon McManus field goal later in the quarter, the Packers are down 14-13 heading into halftime.

The Bears were the Bears, decided to let Keenan Allen throw the ball, and it’s intercepted by who else, Xavier McKinney. Packers offense gets the ball back, and Jordan Love is still on the sideline.
MALIK WILLIS, MY SWEET BOY, ARE YOU OKAY

In one of the hardest hits you’ll see all day, Malik Willis loses the football, and the Bears recover. We’re certainly making this a nailbiter, aren’t we.
Update: the Green Bay Packers are still losing to the Chicago Bears

Javon Bullard is left in the dust as DJ Moore takes it 32 yards to the house. The Bears end up going for 2, but the Packers are flagged so the Bears try again. For whatever reason, they take the extra point, and the score is 21-13.

To make matters worse, Malik Willis hurts his throwing hand on the 2-pt conversion. With 4 minutes left in the game, what do the Packers do about the QB position?

As the Bears come out of the 2-minute warning with a tight lead, DJ Moore fumbles the football, and the Packers recover. Will this once again come down to a Brandon McManus FG attempt?
Yes, and no. With under a minute, the FG is good, but the Packers have to stop the Bears from their own game-winning drive. And…they don’t. The Bears have finally beaten the Packers for the first time in over half a decade, 24-22.
