The Bears were facing fourth and one from Green Bay's 14-yard line when Williams faked a handoff and rolled to his left. Tight end Cole Kmet had gotten behind Nixon in the end zone, but Nixon made a leaping catch of the underthrown pass.

Josh Jacobs scored the tiebreaking touchdown on a two-yard run with 3:32 remaining as the Packers (93-1) won their fourth straight and snapped a five-game winning streak by the Bears (9-4).

Packers coach Matt LaFleur improved his record against the Bears to 12-1, the lone loss coming in the final week of the 2024 regular season. It came in his first headto-head matchup with rookie Bears coach Ben Johnson.

During his introductory news conference, Johnson said, "To be quite frank with you, I kind of enjoyed beating Matt LaFleur twice a year." Johnson was Detroit's offensive coordinator last season when the Lions swept the Packers.
