Updates, highlights

Watson active, Doubs out: The Packers will have Christian Watson, who is returning from a bone bruise on his knee, but Romeo Doubs is out for the season finale due to an illness.

Gary sacks created three-and-out: Caleb Williams couldn’t handle a shotgun snap on the Bears’ first play from scrimmage, and Rashan Gary — a newly minted Pro Bowler — beat a block and made the sack. The Bears punted three plays later.

Tricky Bears strike first: The Bears took a 7-0 lead on a trick play punt return that Josh Blackwell returned 94 yards for a touchdown. The Bears punt return team faked a return to the Packers’ right, but Josh Blackwell caught the punt at the 6-yard line to the opposite side and returned it untouched for a score.

LaFleur wins challenge, Packers get FG: Matt LaFleur won his first challenge of the 2024 season, turning an incompletion into a 19-yard catch by Luke Musgrave, and the Packers got on the board with a 37-yard field goal from Brandon McManus.

Reed fumble sets up another Bears TD: The Bears took a 14-3 lead after Jayden Reed fumbled in Packers territory, D.J. Moore made a 15-yard gain on a screen and D’Andre Swift powered into the end zone. The Packers are sleepwalking in this first half.

Watson, Love both suffer injuries: Christian Watson went down with a non-contact knee injury and Jordan Love went out with hand injury. Both are considered questionable to return.

Jacobs touchdown: The Packers cut the lead to 14-10 on this Josh Jacobs touchdown, his 15th of the season.

X interception: Packers safety Xavier McKinney produced his eighth interception on a poorly thrown ball from Bears receiver Keenan Allen, who got the ball on a gadget play. McKinney is the first Packers defender to eight picks since Charles Woodson in 2009.

Bears extend lead to 8: The Bears got a 32-yard catch-and-run score from D.J. Moore to extend the lead to 21-13 in the fourth quarter. The Packers still haven’t returned Jordan Love to the game, so it’ll be up to Malik Willis to create the comeback.

Heath and Wilson combine for magic touchdown drive: The Packers are still alive. Malik Heath made an incredible 41-yard catch on third-and-forever, and Emanuel Wilson scampered into the end zone for a 21-yard score a play later. The Packers failed on the two-point conversion. It’s 21-19.

Packers take lead: Carrington Valentine forced a fumble on D.J. Moore, and Brandon McManus nailed a 55-yard field goal with 54 seconds left. It’s 22-21. Unbelievable kick in the frigid conditions at Lambeau Field.

Bears win: D.J. Moore got the Bears into field goal position, and Cairo Santos connected on a 50-yard field goal as time expired to lift the Bears to a 24-22 win. The Packers are headed to Philadelphia for the first round of the postseason.
