Bears Win and Keep Playoff Hopes Alive nytimes.com December 23, 2008 Robbie Gould kicked a 38-yard field goal with 11 minutes 28 seconds left in overtime Monday night, and the Chicago Bears overcame frigid conditions to defeat the visiting Green Bay Packers, 20-17, and stay in the running for the playoffs. Chicago’s Alex Brown blocked Mason Crosby’s 38-yard field-goal attempt with 18 seconds left in regulation to preserve a 17-17 tie and send the game into overtime. The temperature at Soldier Field was announced at 2 degrees, making it the Bears’ coldest home game since records started being kept in 1963. The wind chill was minus-13 degrees, the second lowest in recorded team history, so the longtime rivals known for their ability to play in cold weather were tested by the elements. After Kyle Orton threw a 17-yard pass to Greg Olsen, a 15-yard penalty on Green Bay’s Aaron Rouse for a horse-collar tackle gave the Bears the ball at the Green Bay 35-yard line in overtime. A third-down pass of 14 yards to Matt Forte got it to the Green Bay 20 to set up the winning kick — Gould’s second straight winning kick in overtime. A loss would have eliminated the Bears from playoff contention. -By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
