ESPN Reports: Bears Chairman George McCaskey has just announced that Matt Eberflus will no longer serve as head coach after another loss to Greeb Bay Packers…..Read More

As the thud of a football collided with the hand, the Bears’ tragic tale was recounted.

After three consecutive losses and the loss of offensive coordinator Shane Waldron, the chaos of the previous week washed away as Cairo Santos attempted a game-winning 46-yard field goal on Sunday. However, Karl Brooks broke through the center of the line, blocked the ball, and it skidded into the end zone. With the field goal attempt unsuccessful, the Bears fell to the Green Bay Packers 20-19, extending their losing streak to an NFL record eleven games in a row.

“We should have had a walkoff field goal win there at the end there and again that didn’t happen,” coach Matt Eberflus was displeased. At the very end, we need to examine the field goal procedure. I warned them that it requires real bravery and strength. At the moment, it’s challenging times, but tough individuals will get through it. It’s time to return to our work.

A last drive to field goal range was orchestrated by Caleb Williams, who extended the drive with three massive completions—two to Rome Odunze and one to Keenan Allen—but his comments were unable to conceal the disappointment. Williams attempted 23 passes for 231 yards, but his efforts were in vain in a game that was more evenly contested and engaging than any in this series’ recent history.

Under new offensive coordinator Thomas Brown, the Bears offense came to life, which is encouraging for the future but won’t elevate them above a 4-6 record.

“Being able to do that today I think it builds confidence for us,” he added. experiencing those joyful times.

Last but not least, the most brilliant attempt was unsuccessful. This came after Christian Watson gained 61 yards on a pass from Jaylon Johnson, and with 2 minutes and fifty-nine seconds left in the game, the Packers took the lead on a touchdown sneak by Jordan Love. The Bears had an opportunity to win with a field goal after the two-point conversion failed.

To put it mildly, the drive got off to a shaky start with two sacks of Williams in quick succession. However, he completed a daring pass to Odunze along the sidelines for 21 yards on fourth-and-3, setting up the ball on the brink of field goal range, after which he connected Odunze for 16 yards on third-and-19. Field goal range was reached after a 12-yard pass to Keenan Allen, and they gained a few more yards on a run by Roschon Johnson before kicking.

“In terms of the operation from the 30, we ran the ball one time, tried to get a few more yards right there,” said Eberflus. We were confident with the placement of the kick line. Within that range, Cairo has made several of those kicks. Once again, Cairo has our whole faith. There, we are certain of our operation’s success.

“Again I have to look at the tape in terms of the block but I feel good about where that was.”

This Bears game-ending kick was the most disheartening one since the Cody Parkey double-doink in the playoffs in 2018. Long snapper Scott Daly and Santos both didn’t think the Packers had done anything plainly wrong by hitting him.

“We have to execute in that moment, which of course we did,” he added. “They made a good play and that’s what it came down to.”

In the last minute of the fourth quarter, the Bears rallied from seven-point, seven-three, and fourteen-point deficits to take a 19-14 lead, thanks to a touchdown run by D’Andrew Swift, who went 39 yards around left end. Santos kicked field goals from 27 and 53 yards, and Roschon Johnson broke their score drought with a 1-yard run in the second quarter.

With 399 yards to 366, they had more yardage than the 7-3 Packers.

The fact that Brooks blocked the field goal rendered it all meaningless.

“You’ve just got to feel it’s unfortunate because we worked so hard to get in that position,” said Santos.

As they reflect on their disastrous 4-6 season, the Bears’ handling of defeat and misfortune have emerged as themes.
