The Bears’ five-game winning streak died in the final seconds at Lambeau Field, punctuated by Caleb Williams’ late interception into the end zone — a ball that came out too late, too soft, and into the hands of Packers corner Keisean Nixon.

What could have been a statement comeback win instead became a 28-21 loss that dropped Chicago from the top of the NFC all the way to No. 7. And yet, even in defeat, the Bears looked like a team built for January, clawing back from a 14-3 halftime deficit and nearly stealing a rivalry game in a building that has buried Chicago for decades.

Williams was uneven: 4-of-12 in the first half, 13-of-19 on the next three scoring drives, sprinkling in off-script brilliance with frustrating inconsistency. He had Cole Kmet open on the game’s final snap. He hesitated. In this rivalry, against this opponent, hesitating is fatal.

Still — and this matters — Chicago did not fold. They did not panic. They did not get overwhelmed by the moment. And that’s why Sunday’s loss stings without feeling damning.
