Bears Edge Packers in NFC North Thriller

In a nail-biting NFC North clash, the Chicago Bears triumphed over the Green Bay Packers 22-16 in overtime. Despite missing key players, the Packers had a chance for a road upset until they failed to recover the Bears onside kick. Quarterback Jordan Loves early exit due to a concussion led to backup Malik Willis taking the helm. The Bears tied it late with a fourth-down touchdown and secured the win with a game-ending bomb. The Packers special teams and red-zone struggles proved costly, with another onside kick mishap and zero touchdowns in the red zone. The Bears remain division leaders, while the Packers cling to the NFCs seventh playoff spot, needing to improve their onside recoveries and red-zone efficiency for postseason success.
