Bears lose to Packers 20-19 on blocked field goal on final play for 11th consecutive defeat in rivalry
The Bears drove into Packers territory for a game-winning field goal on the final play, but Packers defensive lineman Karl Brooks blocked it to beat them 20-19. It was a 46-yard kick by Cairo Santos that fell well short.
It's the 11th consecutive win for the Packers over the Bears, who now have lost four in a row and fallen to 4-6 with one loss on a Hail Mary and another on a blocked field goal.
The Bears began their final possession at their own 30-yard line and eventually faced a third-and-19 from their own 21, then quarterback Caleb Williams snapped into action.
Williams hit Rome Odunze for 16 yards, then converted on fourth-and-three with a 21-yard pass to Odunze. He drove the Bears to the Packers' 30-yard line on a 12-yard pass to Keenan Allen, then the Bears called a run for Roschon Johnson that got them to the 28.

They let the clock run down to three seconds before calling timeout and setting up for the 46-yard field goal from the left hash.
Williams played solidly and completed 23 of 31 passes for 231 yards and a 95.0 passer rating.
His counterpart, however, played better. Jordan Love completed 13 of 17 passes for 261 yards with a touchdown and an interception for a 113.0 passer rating and ran for a touchdown. Love completed a 60-yard pass to Christian Watson to set up the Packers' go-ahead touchdown with three minutes left.
