Nixon makes the game-saving play in their own end zone. What a game. Halfly fired up. Great defense.

0:11.8

And it's not a sixth game-winning fourth quarter comeback for this Bears team. They showed a lot of fight today, KB.

That was a valiant effort. Hell of a football game. A lot of times it comes down, like I said, one guy's going to make it, one guy's not going to make it. Today it was a Packers Day. There's a handshake in Matt LaFleur's Packers. Takeover first place in the NFC North. Marco, is there such things a moral victory in the NFL? You guys come back down from 14-3, or how do you kind of view that? No, it ain't no moral victories in my... We didn't get the job done, and, like, you know, I'm waking up, still frustrated with that game looking at it. I don't think anybody needs to take this to have a moral victory.
