Matt Flynn throws score in critical game, but to wrong team

The Packers are trying to catch the Bears, but instead Cortez Allen caught Flynn.

The Packers are a half-game behind the Chicago Bears for the division lead. A win would put them in position to overtake the Bears outright if Chicago loses to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night.

Instead, the trail by 10 with just under a quarter left to go.
