Christian Watson’s injury update is just a silver lining to the Packers in Bears debacle
The Green Bay Packers were left shaking their heads as they left Soldier Field Saturday night after losing 22-16 in overtime to the Chicago Bears. The Packers led 16-6 with 2 minutes left in the 4th quarter before the Bears pulled off a miraculous rally that included an onside kick recovery and a game-tying Caleb Williams to rookie Jada Walker touchdown on 4th down with 24 seconds left in regulation.
The Bears won in overtime when Williams connected with DJ Moore on a 46-yard bomb with 4:57 left in the extra session. The win allowed the Bears to improve their record to 11-4 so far the Packers dropped to 9-5-1. The Bears have a 1 1/2 game lead over their old rivals with 2 games remaining for each team. The Bears are still undefeated in the NFC North, but a win in either of their final two games against the San Francisco 49ers or Detroit Lions will clinch the division crown.
The Packers were both shocked and disappointed by the loss, but the good news for the team is that wide receiver Christian Watson it is no worse after playing against Medveda. He entered the game with chest and shoulder injuriesbut coach Matt LaFleur said Watson didn’t suffer any slump in the game.
Packers KB Jordan Love was forced out of the game
The Packers were hoping to reclaim first place in the NFC North, and appeared to be well on their way to doing so late in the 4th quarter before the Bears rallied for the win in front of a raucous Chicago crowd.
Jordan Love took a helmet-to-helmet hit in the second quarter and did not play as a result of entering the concussion protocol. Backup quarterback Malik Willis filled in nicely for the Lions, completing 9 of 11 passes for 121 yards and adding 44 yards on the ground.
