On Nov. 7, 1999, the then 3-5 Bears traveled north to Lambeau Field to take on the 4-3 Green Bay Packers, led by Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre.
The game happened six days after legendary Bears running back Walter Patyon died of cancer from a complication of a rare liver disease. Some who played that day were teammates of Payton's.
By the end of the game, the Bears led the Packers 14-13, but Favre and the Packers offense were storming down the field for a last-minute drive. The Packers stopped and attempted a 28-yard game-winning field goal.
