They opened Sunday against the Packers with a three-and-out and a punt, and that was the 11th time in 17 games they started that way. In 17 opening drives, the Bears managed just two field goals, one against the Texans in Week 2 and one against the Packers in Week 11, and allowed their opponent to score first 15 of 17 times.

The story of the 2024 Chicago Bears is one that is littered with brutal, almost inconceivable last-minute losses. The Hail Mary debacle in Washington. A pair of no-shows against the Cardinals and Patriots.

The Chicago Bears don’t beat the Green Bay Packers very often, so the team is undoubtedly savoring an historic 24-22 victory at Lambeau Field Sunday.
