US EditionCaleb Williams Rallies Bears From 18 Points Down For 31-27 Playoff Win Over Rival Packers
Caleb Williams threw for 361 yards and led a rally overcoming a 21-3 halftime deficit to secure a 31-27 victory over the Packers in the NFC wild-card game.
- On Saturday, Caleb Williams threw a go-ahead 25-yard touchdown to D.J. Moore with 1:43 remaining, rallying the Chicago Bears from an 18-point deficit to beat the Green Bay Packers 31-27 at Soldier Field.
- After entering the fourth down 21-6, Chicago Bears outscored Green Bay Packers 25 in the fourth quarter, completing their seventh comeback under coach Ben Johnson.
- The Packers' second-half miscues included a delay-of-game after a timeout, a missed 44-yard field goal and a missed extra point by Brandon McManus, while four second-half possessions gained just nine net yards.
- The victory sent the Chicago Bears forward as they will host a divisional-round game next weekend, while the loss caused the Green Bay Packers' season-ending elimination until next year.
- The loss immediately raised questions about Matt LaFleur's approach, but Ian Rapoport said LaFleur is not coaching for his job and Ed Policy is expected to discuss a contract extension.
