Last week, with the Green Bay Packers up 24-16 midway through the fourth quarter, the Chicago Bears offense drove the ball all the way to Green Bay’s 29-yard line, looking to score and tie up the game.
After an up-and-down defensive performance, the Packers needed someone-just anyone-to step up and make a stop on defense. All-pro linebacker Clay Matthews answered the call.
Dropping back in coverage and watching Jay Cutler‘s eyes, Matthews jumped the quarterback’s throw over the middle to tight end Martellus Bennett, intercepting the pass and putting the game well out of reach for their division foe.
