At the end, the home crowd screamed, “Go, pack, go!”

The fourth quarter was a back and forth nail biter as it began with a 21-14 Green Bay lead. That was until the Bears melted 8:32 off the clock, going 17 plays and 83 yards to see rookie tight end Colston Loveland find the end zone on a great call from head coach Ben Johnson when Williams rolled out on play-action and found his man.
With the game tied at 21, Jordan Love and the Packers’ offense looked to answer, and they did just that.

Love orchestrated an eight-play drive in which veteran running back Josh Jacobs was instrumental in getting the ball down the field, including a 21-yard run on third-and-2 from Chicago’s 28-yard line. A few plays later, Jacobs broke through the line in the end zone to take a 28-21 lead after the extra point was good.
Williams and the Bears still had enough time to get down the field themselves and potentially tie or win the game. On the first play of the drive, things looked promising when rookie Luther Burden III caught a 27-yard pass to immediately get into Green Bay territory. Then Williams, scrambling to the right, found Devin Duvernay for just his second catch of the year — a 24-yard strike that had the Bears just outside the red zone.

The Bears just tried to get a first down when Kyle Monangai ran it with 35 seconds left on third-and-1, but he was stopped and forced a fourth down. That’s when Williams tried to go for the end zone instead of just the first down, and he was late to see Cole Kmet.
Kmet had space but the ball was dropped and Nixon was there to make the game close.
It was a true battle between two of the best teams in the NFC, let alone their own division. But Love threw three touchdowns in this one, two of which went to the game’s leading receiver, Christian Watson, who had just four catches for 89 yards.
There was also a perfect play call near the end of the first half when dual threat Bo Melton broke free for a 45-yard touchdown catch. The Packers also welcomed Jayden Reed to their wide receiver mix, as he had four catches for 31 yards.

Jacobs finished the game with 86 yards on the ground on 20 carries and his touchdown, while the Bears saw D’Andre Swift lead the way in that category with 63 yards on 13 carries. Monangai added 57 yards on 14 touches in the backfield.
Williams was 19-for-35 passing for 186 yards with his two touchdowns.
