Caleb Williams gained a shot of confidence and Cairo Santos earned a measure of redemption. The Chicago Bears finished a disappointing season on a high note, while the Green Bay Packers limped into the playoffs with plenty of questions. Williams drove Chicago to Santos’ 51-yard field goal as time expired in a 24-22 victory over the Packers, who lost quarterback Jordan Love and wide receiver Christian Watson to injuries on Sunday. The Bears (5-12) beat the Packers for the first time since 2018 and ended an 11-game losing streak in this rivalry. They had dropped 10 straight overall — a slump that included the firing of coach Matt Eberflus the day after Thanksgiving — to match a franchise record for consecutive losses within a single season.
