In a season full of unlikely endings, the Bears saved their most improbable finish for the game that mattered the most.
Quarterback Caleb Williams hit receiver DJ Moore on a 46-yard touchdown on a play-action pass in overtime to beat the rival Packers, 22-16, Saturday night at Soldier Field. Moore hauled in the pass in the north end zone with Keisean Nixon, who intercepted Williams to seal the first matchup between the rivals, draped on his back.
The Bears needed a miracle to get to overtime.
