Green Bay quarterback Jordan Love left the Packers’ game Saturday night against Chicago after being hit hard in the second quarter and was ruled out after halftime.
The Bears won the game in overtime on a 46-yard touchdown run by DJ Moore.
Love’s injury occurred in the second quarter when he took a helmet-to-helmet hit from Bears defensive lineman Austin Booker during a sack. Booker was reported for roughing the passer.
Love was depressed after the play and was unable to get up on his own.

The quarterback eventually ran off the field and into the blue injury tent on the Green Bay sideline. Then he headed towards the visitors’ locker room.
Malik Willis came in for Green Bay and led the Packers to Brandon McManus’ 22-yard field goal and a 6-0 lead.

To make things more difficult for the Packers, the heaters on their sideline were inoperable for much of the game, according to Fox Sports.
Willis gave the Packers a chance to win, completing nine of 11 passes for 121 yards and a touchdown, while rushing for 44.

The Packers appeared to have the game in hand late in the fourth quarter when they took a 16-6 lead with less than six minutes to play.
A quick Bears field goal, followed by a successful onside kick recovery and fourth-down touchdown pass from Caleb Williams tied the game.
In overtime, the Packers received the ball on the first possession, but failed to get it back on fourth and short in Bears territory.
Then Williams corralled the game-winning 46-yard bomb to Moore on his fourth play in overtime.
With this victory, the Bears solidified their position in first place in the NFC North and have a realistic chance to become the top seed in the NFC with two games remaining in the season.
