Overview
- Chicago scored on all four fourth-quarter possessions for 25 points after trailing 21-3 at halftime, the largest postseason comeback in franchise history.
- Caleb Williams went 24-of-48 for 361 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions, setting the Bears’ single-game playoff passing record and joining Kurt Warner as the only players with 350-plus yards who won their playoff debut.
- Williams hit Olamide Zaccheaus for a late TD, converted a key two-point pass to rookie tight end Colston Loveland, then found DJ Moore for the go-ahead score; Loveland finished with eight catches for 137 yards and a rookie TE playoff mark.
- The Bears defense opened the second half with four quick stops and preserved the win with a final goal-line incompletion, while Packers kicker Brandon McManus missed two field goals and an extra point.
- Postgame images drew attention, including a fleeting Ben Johnson–Matt LaFleur handshake, Williams’ cheese-grater bit on the Prime Video set, and circulating video of his earlier sideline outburst; Williams later said, “We’re here, and we’re going to be here for a while.”
