For the second week in a row, a division rivalry game ended with a blocked field goal for the win. 

This time, it was the Green Bay Packers blocking Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos’ game-winner from 46 yards out to win 20-19 as time expired. 

Last week, it was the Kansas City Chiefs keeping their undefeated season alive with a blocked field goal against the Denver Broncos. And similar to this game, a rookie quarterback’s great drive in crunch time was all for naught.

Caleb Williams was looking for his first game-winning drive, and he got his team into field goal range with some clutch throws, including a back-shoulder fade to fellow rookie Rome Odunze on 4th-and-3 for a 21-yard gain to keep the drive alive. 

But when Santos went to go step into that game-winning field goal, Karl Brooks’ flew through the line and got his hand on the ball, keeping the kick short and giving his team the victory.

The Packers moved to 7-3 on the year, while the Bears fell to 4-6. 

Green Bay has 11 consecutive wins over Chicago. The Bears haven't defeated the Packers since 2018.

The reason Green Bay got the win before the block was due to a big drive by Jordan Love and Co. on offense down five points with 4:17 to play
