Bears’ Late Interception Hands Packers Win as Johnson Signals Two-Point Intent

Chicago slipped to 9-4, ceding the NFC North lead.

Overview

  • Caleb Williams’ final red-zone pass, thrown while rolling left, was underthrown to Cole Kmet and intercepted by Keisean Nixon to end the game.
  • Williams took responsibility afterward, saying he needed to lead Kmet and deliver a better ball in the must-score moment.
  • Head coach Ben Johnson told ESPN Chicago it was “highly likely” the Bears would have attempted a two-point conversion had they scored.
  • Chicago had already converted a two-point try earlier in the game, reflecting the staff’s aggressive approach.
  • The defeat precedes a rematch with Green Bay at Soldier Field in two weeks on Sunday Night Football.
