While the Chicago Bears put forth too little, too late this season, they ended their overall 10-game losing streak and snapped their 11-game skid — dating back to 2018 — against the playoff-bound Green Bay Packers.
The Bears nearly found a new way to lose — amid all of their unfathomable defeats this season — by fumbling on a screen pass with less than 2 minutes remaining while ahead by one point. But while the Packers cashed in with a field goal, Caleb Williams led his team down the field on the ensuing possession and helped his Bears kick their own field goal to win 24-22.
Chicago enters the offseason with several questions to answer, mostly surrounding the offense and coaching staff. Green Bay, despite the defeat and Jordan Love‘s injury, enters the playoffs as the NFC's No. 7 seed and will travel to face the Eagles in the wild-card round.

PLAYER OF THE GAME
Edgerrin Cooper has evolved into one of the NFL's top linebackers in just his first season. If his 80.5 PFF overall grade in this game holds after reviews, it would be his fourth straight 80.0-plus mark. No linebacker has graded out better than him over the past four weeks.
