The Chicago Bears entered Sunday night's game against the Green Bay Packers as big underdogs. Bears kick return specialist Jakeem Grant is doing his part to try and pull off the upset. Late in the 2nd quarter with the Bears leading 17-14, Grant caught the Packers punt at his own 3-yard line and returned it 97 yards for a touchdown.

He initially made a move toward the middle of the field, then cut back to the sideline and took it all the way. It was the longest punt return in Chicago Bears history. It is also the 10th longest punt return in NFL history. That surpassed the mark that Johnny Bailey set in 1990.

Special teams have played a large role in Sunday night's game. Grant had already a couple other nice punt returns. Even Khalil Herbert had a 42-yard kickoff return for the Bears.

There were 45 points scored in the 2nd quarter in Sunday night's game. That is the most in any quarter in a game played between the Packers and the Bears. The previous high was 42 points way back in 1955, according to ESPN Stats & Info.

The Bears are looking to pull off a massive upset on the road at Lambeau Field. It is a crucial game for the Packers as they look to keep pressure on the Arizona Cardinals for the top seed in the NFC. That is more critical than ever before as only the top seed will receive a first-round bye in the NFL playoffs.

If the Bears pull off the upset, in stunning fashion, they would only be a game out of the final wild card spot.
