That thump, thump, thump you were hearing Sunday afternoon was a heartbeat, something that had been missing and presumed dead for weeks. The Bears were getting the better of the hated Packers and, more importantly, appeared to be in the process of solving some of the serious problems that had led to a three-game losing streak.

The Chicago Bears (4-6) suffered another gut-wrenching, last-second defeat, this time to the Green Bay Packers (7-3) in a 20-19 loss at Soldier Field. The Bears were perfectly positioned to snap their 10-game losing streak against the Packers.
