The Green Bay Packers continue to play some of their best football when it matters most. After their 28-21 win over the Chicago Bears on Sunday afternoon, Green Bay has now swept the other three teams in the NFC North over the last three weeks, dispatching the Vikings, Lions, and Bears in order. That stretch elevates the Packers to 9-3-1 overall and 4-0 in the division this season, with rematches against Chicago and Minnesota yet to come.
Most importantly, the win puts the Packers in the lead in the division with four games to go, including that all-important rematch with the Bears in two weeks.
It wasn’t an easy win, and it certainly came with its share of frustration. But the offense made the plays it needed in clutch times while the defense pounced on a bit of an odd playcall by Chicago in the final moments, getting a crucial interception to put the game on ice.
Keisean Nixon’s game will be the subject of much discussion all week, as he struggled early and got flagged for a few penalties. But he came up with the biggest play of the game when he absolutely had to, giving the Packers the W.
