GREEN BAY, Wis. — This was not a success for the Bears. Not at all. Their standard needs to be higher, and thanks to Ben Johnson, it seems like it finally is.
There’s no question, though, that they revitalized the NFL’s most storied rivalry Sunday despite losing to the Packers 28-21 at Lambeau Field. For years the Bears have been a punchline here, but there was much more relief than laughter in Green Bay when cornerback Keisean Nixon intercepted quarterback Caleb Williams’ pass in the end zone with 22 seconds left to close it out.
