It sure felt like the Chicago Bears were about to capture their first win against the Green Bay Packers since December 2018. The Bears lined up for what would have been a game-winning 46-yard field goal in the final seconds of regulation only to have the kick blocked by Karl Brooks.
The blocked kick gave the Packers their 11th consecutive win against the Bears, who surprised by scoring 19 points and making this game far closer than what Packers fans were anticipating. That being said, a win is a win and this win gave Green Bay yet another victory over their hated division rivals.
Running back AJ Dillon might not have been able to play in the game but he was watching and loving the end result. Dillon enjoyed himself so much that he took to social media to express exactly how he felt about the blocked field goal.

All Dillon could do was laugh at seeing his team crush Bears fans' hearts for the 11th time in a row. This time felt especially cruel, though, since the win was right there in the Bears' grasp. All they had to do was convert a 46-yard field goal and their first win over Green Bay since 2018 would be theirs.
Well, as we know now, that's easier said than done. Cairo Santos' attempt was blocked and the Packers escaped Soldier Field with an ugly win, but a win is a win. Dillon hasn't played for the Packers yet this year due to landing on IR, but he was watching his team continue to break the Bears in the most crushing of ways. Gotta love it.
These two teams won't meet again until Week 18, the final week of the regular season. Hopefully the Packers have already clinched a playoff spot by that point but it'd be fun if the Bears were still fighting for a playoff spot and the Packers had a chance to dash their hopes and dreams yet again.
