A Soldier Field nail bitter saw the Bears nearly snap their losing streak in the series, which the Bears hadn’t won since 2018. However, a blocked field goal by Packers rookie Karl Brooks in the closing seconds held the one-point victory. The 46-yard attempt by Chicago kicker, Cairo Santos, was blocked as time expired, leaving Packers fans celebrating another victory over their oldest rivals.
