Cairo Santos of the Chicago Bears set a new franchise single-season record with his 34th field goal against the Green Bay Packers, leading the Bears to an early 3-0 advantage with a 50-yard field goal with 8:54 remaining in the first quarter. His 50-yard field goal, achieved after a 10-play, 37-yard drive that took 6:06, marked his seventh of the season, extending a career-high and tying Robbie Gould's franchise record. Despite the Bears' initial lead, the Packers were ahead 7-6 with 1:17 remaining in the second quarter, following a 39-yard field goal by Santos. The Packers extended their lead to 14-9, with Santos contributing a 35-yard field goal with 13:03 left in the game. Green Bay's defense was notable, recording 3 sacks and 6 tackles for loss (TFL). The Bears' offense ended another drive with a third-down sack after an 11-play, 46-yard effort. A potential Cole Kmet touchdown was thwarted by Carrington Valentine, who broke up the pass in the end zone, leading to Santos' third field goal.
Thought that was gonna be a Cole Kmet TD on the scramble drill, but Carrington Valentine tracks back to break it up. Probably should've picked it off. Cairo Santos makes his third FG of the game with 13:03 left. Packers 14, Bears 9
