Overview
- Late in the third quarter with Green Bay leading 21-6, Jordan Love hit reserve tackle Darian Kinnard on a short pass after he reported eligible.
- Kinnard, starting for injured right tackle Zach Tom, gained six yards before he was stripped, sending the ball loose upfield.
- The ball was inadvertently kicked forward by Kinnard, creating a clear recovery chance for Chicago near the Packers’ 30-yard line.
- Bears defensive tackle Gervon Dexter Sr. dove for the ball and pushed it out of bounds, resulting in Packers possession at the original fumble spot under NFL rules.
- Kinnard was credited with a six-yard reception, and the sequence was widely cited as a squandered momentum opportunity for Chicago.
