The bar of separation in the NFL is just about as small as Karl Brooks’ left middle finger.
A field-goal block from the second-year defensive tackle helped the Green Bay Packers hold onto a 20-19 win over the Chicago Bears on Sunday. The Packers are 5-2 in one-possession games this season.
The Bears, however, are 2-4 in one-score games. Two of their losses in what is now a four-game losing streak came in freak fashion on the final play: first by allowing a Hail Mary touchdown at Washington, Sunday with Brooks blocking the 46-yard attempt.
Ignoring the scoreboard, the Packers probably put more bad play on tape than good.
