Bears Stun Packers With 31-27 Wild Card Rally as Caleb Williams Leads Record Comeback

The second-year quarterback rebounded from a rough first half to deliver Chicago's first playoff win in 15 years.

Overview

  • The Bears trailed 21-3 at halftime after turning the ball over on their final three first-half possessions.
  • Caleb Williams finished 24-of-48 for 361 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions, adding 20 rushing yards on four carries.
  • Chicago scored on five of six second-half drives, including three straight touchdowns, to complete the 18-point comeback.
  • The rally is the largest postseason comeback in franchise history and came in the latest chapter of the Bears–Packers rivalry at Soldier Field.
  • A second-quarter fourth-down deep ball toward rookie Luther Burden III was intercepted by Carrington Valentine, and separate videos showed Williams yelling on the sideline without a confirmed account of his words.
