### Packers Fans Revel in Victory and Rival Misfortunes
Green Bay Packers supporters had more than just their team's victory to celebrate this Sunday; they also enjoyed watching the Chicago Bears and New York Jets suffer surprising losses. The emotional roller coaster for Chicago Bears fans peaked when their team lost 18-15 to the Washington Commanders in a game that will be long remembered in infamy.
The Bears seemed to have secured the win with just 27 seconds left on the clock. Roschon Johnson concluded a 10-play drive with a short touchdown run, putting the Bears ahead. The team further solidified their position with a successful two-point conversion from Caleb Williams to Cole Kmet, making the score 15-12. Yet, the unexpected happened as Washington's quarterback Jayden Daniels launched a 52-yard Hail Mary pass as time expired. The ball bounced off several players at the goal line and landed in the hands of receiver Noah Brown for a last-second touchdown.
Adding to the drama, video footage showed Bears cornerback Tyrique Stevenson engaged in a verbal exchange with fans near the end zone, even as the crucial play began. Realizing the urgency, Stevenson rushed over and attempted to intervene, only to tip the ball straight to Brown. Following the debacle, Stevenson issued an apology on social media. The result dropped the Bears to a 4-3 record, knocking them out of the playoff bracket. Meanwhile, the Commanders moved up to the No. 2 seed in the NFC East, with the Packers holding the fifth seed as the leading wild-card team.
In New York, the Jets faced their own heartbreaking loss to New England, ending the game 25-22. The Patriots, despised by many this season, managed a win despite accumulating only 247 yards and missing rookie quarterback Drake Maye, who left the game in the second quarter. Jacoby Brissett stepped in to guide New England. The Patriots’ performance became historic as they became the first team since 2012 to win without a takeaway or 250 yards. The previous instance was Seattle’s win over Green Bay in the infamous "Fail Mary" game.
The Jets and Patriots now share 2-6 records. Aaron Rodgers of the Jets completed 17 of 27 passes for 233 yards and two touchdowns. However, it was a final 22-second touchdown by Rhamondre Stevenson that handed the Patriots the victory. The Jets, who had previously defeated New England 24-3 this season, now suffer a five-game losing streak, despite the reunion of Rodgers and former Packers receiver Davante Adams in New York.
The Patriots, who started their season with a shocking 16-10 win over Cincinnati, had lost six consecutive games before this surprising victory against the Jets. This weekend’s results not only satisfied Packers fans but also reshaped the playoff landscape in the NFC.
