It's games like this that make you want to blaspheme against the football gods. How does it happen? The Packers dominated the Bears for two games and ended at a net 0 thanks to some 2014 NFC Championship game-level BS. 

Gary Bears

The Bears somehow beat the Packers, 22-16.

Game Notes

• We were up 9 on the top team in the AFC and then Micah Parsons tore his acl, Evan Williams sprained his MCL, Jordan Love got concussed on a dirty hit, Romeo Doubs muffed an onsides kick, Keisan Nixon gave up two easy TDs, Malik Willis fumbled a snap (and missed a wide open Christian Watson for a TD) and now five NFC teams have clinched the playoffs and the Packers aren't one of them. Why do we even watch this sport? 
• Anyway, this was another very meh game from Caleb Williams, where he made like three plays, and they were the only ones that mattered. What a pain in the ass playing against him is. Williams was 19/34 for 250 yards and two TDs. Who knows what his stat line would've been if the football gods hadn't forsaken us and one of the three picks he threw had been caught. Ugh.
• Without Luther Burden and Rome Odunze, completed five passes for 97 yards to DJ Moore, with 46 of them coming on the game-winning TD in overtime. 
• The Bears didn't really run all over the Packers this time. You can only really say they moved the ball consistently on the ground on a drive or two. They still put together 150 yards on 26 carries. 
• The Bears defense was fine but not great. They gave up 192 rush yards and Malik Willis was 9/11 for 121 yards and a TD after he came in. The big thing here is that the Packers had several red zone trips without a TD and it just didn't matter that we outplayed the Bears for 56 minutes. You can call it luck, and I will. 

Vikings

The Vikings beat the Giants, 16-13.

Game Notes

• Remember when Max Brosmer played one game and was the worst QB in NFL history? In this game, he played in relief of JJ McCarthy (who was bad and then got hurt) and completed 7/9 passes for 52 yards. Not world-beating, but maybe better than McCarthy again. 
• The bigger story is that Aaron Jones had 21 carries for 80 yards after Jordan Mason got hurt. Justin Jefferson added 85 yards on six catches. The former best wide receiver in the league needs 83 yards to get to a 1,000 on the year, and it is questionable that he'll do it. Obviously, a big part of that is horrific quarterback play, but true Hall of Fame receivers reach 1,000 yards in their prime. Mike Evans did it like 17 times in a row. 
• On the defensive side, Blake Cashman had an incredible 16 tackles. Are the Vikings wasting Cashman's prime? 
• Former Packer Eric Wilson and former Badger Andrew van Ginkel had sacks. Remember when the Badgers had players who could record NFL stats?

Lions

The Lions lost in insane fashion to Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers, 29-24.

Game Notes

• The Lions had five goal-to-go opportunities in the last thirty seconds of this game to win; they scored two touchdowns and lost. On the first touchdown, a pick play was called for offensive pass interference. ON the second, thre sun god two-hand shoved the corner off, caught the pass, but not in the end zone, and lateralled to Goff, who dove in for a TD. That was rightfully called OPI as well and ended the game. Seven NFL teams haven't had an OPI call this whole season. We're 15 games in! Truly a psychotic result. 
• The Lions didn't really deserve to win this game anyway - they went down 12 with 6 minutes left and 481 yards to 361. Only one NFC North team gets to have an unearned lucky win each week it seems. 
• The QB match-up was interesting. Aaron Rodgers had 266 yards but it took 41 attempts. Goff had an alarming 54 attempts and ended up with 366 yards. Interestingly, they had the same yards per attempt passing. In perhaps the most shocking stat line of the season, the Steelers had 230 rush yards and the Lions had 15 (total). This Dan Campbell play-calling thing is a wild ride. 
• Steelers receiver got into an altercation with a Lions fan during the game that caused him to be suspended for two games. You can't really tell if Metcalf punched the fan but he definitely grabbed him by the wig. Reportedly, the fan was shouting out DK's full name. Metcalf says that the fan used multiple slurs during the incident.
