Bears, Green Bay Packers

Christian Watson caught two touchdown passes and Keisean Nixon had the game-sealing interception in the Green Bay Packers' 28-21 win over the Chicago Bears.
During his introductory news conference, new Chicago Bears coach Ben Johnson took an unprompted swipe at Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur.
On a fourth-and-1 in the final minute, the Bears didn't run it or sneak it for the first down. Williams faked a handoff and rolled left. He lofted a pass to the end zone for tight end Cole Kmet, but Packers cornerback Keisean Nixon was there for the interception that sealed a 28-21 win.
Jordan Love threw for 234 passing yards and three touchdowns - two of them big plays to Christian Watson - as Green Bay edged above Chicago to become division leaders with a 9-3-1 record. But the 9-4 Bears have the chance to get payback and potentially regain top spot when they welcome the Packers to Chicago in two weeks.
The AFC picture is clearing up, as the Steelers and Jaguars scored big division wins, while the Texans grabbed hold of a wild-card spot.
Matt LaFleur, Christian Watson and Keisean Nixon gave speeches during the Packers' locker room celebration following the win over the Bears.
When Jacobs crossed the goal line on a 2-yard touchdown run with 3:32 remaining, he had pushed his game totals to 86 yards on 20 carries, and Green Bay was on its way to a 28-21 victory that put the Packers into first place in the NFC North.
Pressed on it further, LaFleur doubled down. "Officials, I don't think that their jobs are easy by any stretch. I think it is a difficult job, but I guess I don't know what holding is anymore."
