The Chicago Bears stunned the Green Bay Packers with a unique trick play punt return that resulted in a touchdown, giving them an early lead in the game.

The Chicago Bears executed a remarkable trick play punt return on Sunday, securing an early lead against the Green Bay Packers . DJ Moore received the punt, feigning a run towards the ball while actually allowing Josh Blackwell to catch it on the opposite side of the field. Blackwell then advanced 94 yards, ultimately scoring a touchdown that stunned the Lambeau Field crowd and placed the Bears ahead.

This punt return touchdown marked the Bears' first in over three years, with the last such feat achieved by Jakeem Grant in December 2021. Notably, this return tied for the third-longest in Bears history, equaling Dennis McKinnon's 94-yard return in September 1987. For context, Devin Hester's longest punt return touchdown as a Bear occurred in 2007, covering 89 yards against the Minnesota Vikings. This touchdown also signifies the Bears' first score in the first quarter of a game since November 2022, against the Vikings, and marks their first lead since that date
