Green Bay answered with an eight-play, 43-yard drive, but Brandon McManus' 44-yard field-goal attempt was wide right. Green Bay then drove to the Chicago 23 with 32 seconds left, but Green Bay had to take a 10-second runoff when a lineman went down injured with the team out of timeouts. Green Bay dominated the first half en route to a 21-3 lead at the break. He hit Christian Watson with a 7-yard touchdown pass with 2:06 left in the first quarter to put Green Bay in front 7-3. Chicago drove to the Green Bay 9 on the opening possession of the game before settling for Santos' 27-yard field goal.
