Wayne Larrivee and Larry McCarren of the Packers Radio Network had the dramatic call of Green Bay’s blocked field goal to win Sunday’s rivalry game over the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field.
With the Packers leading 20-19 and three seconds to go, Bears kicker Cairo Santos lined up a 46-yard field goal from the left hash. The snap was good, the hold was good, but the Bears didn’t block Karl Brooks, who busted the protection and blocked Santos’ attempt.
The home announcers predictably went crazy.
From Larrivee: “Here’s the snap, placement made. The kick is…blocked! It is blocked! It is blocked! And the Packers have won! It is blocked! It comes up short, and the Packers have won 11 straight over the Bears, 20-19! Oh my godness, what a finish!’
All while Larrivee is making the call, McCarren is heard screaming “Blocked! Blocked! Beautiful! Beautiful!” in the background.
