In a crucial Week 16 matchup, the Chicago Bears topped the Green Bay Packers 21-15, solidifying their playoff aspirations. With both teams vying for postseason positioning, every play mattered, and the Bears emerged victorious in a tightly contested battle at Soldier Field.
Bears quarterback Fernando Mendoza shone with a solid performance, throwing for 213 yards and a touchdown, while Garrett Wilson led the receiving corps with 88 yards.
