The Chicago Bears still have a chance at reaching the playoffs after beating the Green Bay Packers in overtime on Monday Night Football.

With just 18 seconds left in the 4th quarter the Packers attempted a game winning 38-yard field but Bears defensive end Alex Brown was able to get a hand on the football and block the kick, sending the game into overtime.

“We got a great push from a lot of different people. I was just the one who got my hand on it,” Brown said. “We were saying on the sidelines that we have to block it. I got through pretty good but I didn’t really think that was going to happen. You just go as hard as you can and see if you can get a hand up and hopefully you can get it.”

Then in overtime Robbie Gould kicked a 38-yarder to win 20-17 over the Packers.

You know it’s going to be chilly, the ground is going to be hard. You’ve just got to go out there and do your job. There’s no excuses for missing,” Gould said.

If the Bears beat the Texans next Sunday and if the Vikings loss to the Giants, Chicago will win the NFC North but if both teams win the Vikings will win the division due to tiebreakers.
