In a thrilling matchup that had playoff implications on the line, the Chicago Bears narrowly defeated the Green Bay Packers 45-41 in Week 16 of the 2026 season. This victory not only boosts the Bears' standing but also keeps their postseason hopes alive as they head into the final stretch of the regular season.
Jalen Milroe was the star of the show for Chicago, throwing for an impressive 403 yards and three touchdowns, showcasing his ability to command the offense. While the Bears struggled on the ground with Deion Burks managing only 18 rushing yards, Milroe's aerial assault was more than enough to keep the Packers on their toes. Devontez Walker shone for Green Bay with a remarkable 240 receiving yards, but it wasn't enough to overcome the Bears' offensive firepower.
Defensively, the Bears made key plays that helped secure their win, highlighted by Nick Herbig’s two sacks that disrupted the Packers' rhythm. Nehemiah Pritchett led the team with five tackles, contributing to a performance that kept the pressure on Green Bay throughout the game. The turning point came late in the fourth quarter when Chicago's defense forced a crucial turnover, allowing Milroe to guide his team to a game-sealing touchdown.
