Packers Fall Short in 2025 NFL Moment of the Year
The Green Bay Packers faced disappointment during the “NFL Honors” event held recently. Although they had no winners among the awards, they were highlighted in a significant moment that ultimately led to their downfall.
Chicago Bears Claim “NFL Moment of the Year”
The Chicago Bears were awarded the “NFL Moment of the Year” for 2025. This recognition came from their thrilling overtime victory over the Packers in Week 16. Caleb Williams connected with D.J. Moore for a stunning 46-yard touchdown pass, sealing the game in dramatic fashion.
Turning Point of the Game
The Bears had to navigate a series of challenges to reach this moment. Key events included:
- Recovering an onside kick late in the game.
- Converting a crucial fourth-and-goal situation in the fourth quarter.
- Stopping the Packers on downs at the start of overtime.
Following these pivotal plays, D.J. Moore outmaneuvered Keisean Nixon on a deep post route. He made a difficult catch and scored the walk-off touchdown, leading the Bears to a stunning 22-16 victory.
Packers’ Historic Context
This loss marked one of the Packers’ two defeats at Soldier Field during the 2025 season. Despite their struggles, the Packers have previously enjoyed success in the “NFL Moment of the Year” category. They won the award twice, first in 2011 for Randall Cobb’s 108-yard kickoff return and again in 2015 for Aaron Rodgers’ famous Hail Mary pass.
“NFL Honors” has recognized memorable moments since its inception in 2011. The spotlight on the Bears’ victory adds another chapter to the rich history of this event.
