Images: Bears lose another game to the Packers 23-16

The Chicago Bears lost to the Green Bay Packers for the 8th straight time by a score of 23-16 on a rainy Sunday afternoon at Soldier Field in Chicago.

The highlight of the game was a 46-yard TD pass by quarterback Mitch Trubisky to Josh Bellamy that brought the Bears within 16-13 with 10:39 left in the game.

But the Bears' defense couldn't contain the Packers when quarterback Brett Hundley threw a 19-yard TD pass to Davante Adams to bring the score to 26-13.

The play of the game occurred when running back Benny Cunningham took a screen pass and appeared to score a TD while stretching to get the ball past the pylon before the half. The Bears coaches chose to challenge the call when he was ruled out at the two, but after the replay review it was ruled that Cunningham fumbled the ball out of bounds in the end zone resulting in a touchback and giving the Packers the ball at the 20-yard line.
