In a dramatic finish to their NFL game on November 17, 2024, the Green Bay Packers secured a 20-19 victory over the Chicago Bears by blocking a 46-yard field goal attempt by Cairo Santos as time expired. The Bears had mounted a late comeback, with quarterback Caleb Williams making several clutch throws, including a crucial completion on 4th and 3 to Rome Odunze. However, the Packers' defense, which had only one sack all game, managed to sack Williams on back-to-back plays, setting up a third-and-19 situation for Chicago. Despite Williams' efforts to rally his team, the blocked field goal by Karl Brooks sealed the Bears' fate, extending their losing streak against Green Bay to 11 games. Earlier, the Packers had re-taken the lead with a QB sneak by Jordan Love.
