The Chicago Bears did it AGAIN! Caleb Williams and the Bears overcame a 21-3 halftime deficit to SHOCK the Packers in the Wild Card Round of the NFL Playoffs! The first half of a tale of two halves started when Bears scored a field goal on the first possession of the game. The Packers scored touchdowns on each of their next three possessions. The Bears showed life in the second half with the defense forcing three-consecutive 3-and-outs but the offense settled for field goals on two of those possessions. D’Andre Swift made it interesting after scoring in the 4th quarter to cut it to a 1-score game. Matthew Golden’s first TD of the season gave the Packers some short-lived comfort. But Caleb Williams marched the Bears down the field for a quick Olamide Zaccheaus TD and a Colston Loveland 2-point conversion to cut it to a 3-point game. An ensuing missed field goal by Brandon McManus gave the Bears the ball back with a chance to tie or take the lead. And Caleb connected with DJ Moore on 25-yard TD to GIVE THE BEARS THE LEAD! The Bears stopped the Packers last-gasp attempt to win the MOST REMARKABLE GAME OF THE SEASON!
