The Walter Payton Game, Chester Marcol, Instant Replay and other close calls between the Bears and Packers in the past 40 years

The Green Bay Packers' 11th straight win against the Chicago Bears brought an element of drama that we haven't seen in recent games between the two longstanding NFL franchises.

After one-score close calls in 2019, Green Bay had won by multiple scores in seven of the past eight meetings, with the exception a 17-9 victory in the 2023 season finale that wasn't as close as the score suggested.

The game-ending blocked field goal from Karl Brooks on Sunday conjured a couple of more-memorable installments in the rivalry, starting with the 12-6 win in 1980 when Chester Marcol picked up his own blocked field goal and ran 25 yards for the winning points in overtime.
