According to Kalyn Kahler, the Packers expected something different from the Bears on the final field goal sequence. After film study this week, Green Bay players noticed Santos kicks with a low trajectory, so they expected Chicago to run another play, which they believe would've made it more difficult to block.

With Thomas Brown calling the plays, Caleb Williams found an offensive rhythm in a reassuring performance. But the field goal unit failed at the most inopportune moment — with a chance to win the game.
