The Green Bau Packers’ wildu2011card loss to the Chicago Bears did more than end a season; it exposed a disturbing statistical trend that now defines this stretch of their season. Falling behind late after leading by double digits has happened multiple times recently, and Saturday’s collapse made franchise history for all the wrong reasons.
Green Bay surrendered a 21u20113 halftime advantage and watched Chicago score 25 fourthu2011quarter points to win 31u201127, a swing that mirrored two earlier lateu2011game meltdowns. The Jordan Love-led franchise became the first team since the 1970 merger to lose three games when leading by 10 or more points in the final five minutes, including postseason play.
