Packers tip Bears in road win

One point equals the length of Karl Brooks' outstretched fingers as the Green Bay Packers beat the Chicago Bears on the lakefront Sunday afternoon 20-19.

 

The game started easy enough for the Packers as they scored on a 15-yard pass to Jayden Reed to make it 7-0. The Bears' defense would stiffen up for the rest of the half while their offense refused to get off the field. They kicked a field goal in the first quarter and a Jordan Love interception turned into a long touchdown drive to make it 10-7 Bears at halftime. After the Bears opened the third quarter with a field goal, Josh Jacobs was able to punch in a score from seven yards out to make it 14-13. It would be a short-lived advantage as De'Andre Swift was able to gallop into the endzone from 39 yards out to give the Bears a 19-14 after the failed two-point conversion. A long pass to Christian Watson set up the Packers' final touchdown as Love snuck in from the one-yard line to make it 20-19. That would set up the dramatics on the final drive of the day with Caleb Williams escaping a third straight sack to find Rome Odunze for a long completion. The Bears would drive into field goal range, but a premeditated field goal block play gave the Packers their 11th straight win over the Bears.

 

It was a game the Packers were lucky to win as the Bears held the ball for 13 more minutes, gained 30 more yards, and were 12-19 and third and fourth down conversion compared to just 1-6. However, it was the Packers that improved to 7-3 and return to Lambeau this Sunday to face the 49ers.
