Packers Beat Bears on Late End-Zone Interception as Williams Takes Blame and Johnson Outlines Two-Point Intent

Caleb Williams takes responsibility for the end‑zone mistake that ended Chicago’s comeback bid.

Overview

  • On fourth-and-1 from the Green Bay 14 with under half a minute left, Caleb Williams underthrew Cole Kmet and Keisean Nixon intercepted to secure the Packers’ 28-21 win.
  • Head coach Ben Johnson said the call mirrored a successful concept from the previous week and that a two-point try was highly likely had Chicago scored.
  • The loss dropped Chicago to 9-4, out of first in the NFC North and down to the NFC’s No. 7 seed, while Green Bay moved into the division lead at 9-3-1.
  • Chicago’s offense struggled early but produced after halftime, including a 17-play, 83-yard drive to tie the game, with improved run blocking and sustained rushing success.
  • Jordan Love went 17-of-25 for 234 yards and three long touchdowns against an injury-hit Bears secondary that lost CB Kyler Gordon to a pregame groin issue; Chicago hosts Cleveland next before a Dec. 20 rematch with Green Bay at Soldier Field.
