CHICAGO (AP) — Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers made just enough plays to squeeze out yet another win over the Chicago Bears.
This time, it took a late touchdown and a blocked field goal.
Love ran for a go-ahead score in the closing minutes, and Green Bay hung on to beat Chicago 20-19 on Sunday when Karl Brooks blocked Cairo Santos' kick from 46 yards as time expired.
Christian Watson set a career high with 150 yards on just four catches, including a 60-yarder that set up Love's touchdown run, and the Packers (7-3) avoided falling further behind Detroit and Minnesota in the NFC North. They also beat the last-place Bears (4-6) for the 11th straight time, the longest streak by either team in the storied rivalry.
