Caleb Williams, Bears stun Packers again with wild-card win - ESPN

CHICAGO — As the Chicago Bears clawed back from an 18-point deficit against the Green Bay Packers on Saturday night, Soldier Field shook.

Many in the crowd of 60,338 stood throughout the fourth quarter and jumped from their seats as Chicago put together another late rally to advance to the divisional playoffs after pulling off a 31-27 win.

The Bears are the fourth team in NFL history to win a playoff game after trailing by 15-plus entering the fourth quarter.

Chicago's only points of the first half came on a field goal. The Bears' 18-point halftime deficit was the team's largest ever in a home playoff game. But Ben Johnson told Prime Video's broadcast that he kept his foot on the gas despite unsuccessful fourth-down attempts because of the Packers' offensive capabilities.

And the Packers knew what the Bears were capable of late in games. Chicago also had a miraculous comeback to win in overtime against Green Bay in the regular season.

In familiar fashion, the Bears did most of their damage in the final moments. It was enough to capture the lead with 1:48 to play, when Caleb Williams connected with DJ Moore for a 25-yard touchdown, and a defense that struggled in the first half held on to secure the win.

What to make of QB performance: Williams turned around his success on deep-ball attempts in the second half. In the first half, Williams completed only 2 of 5 passes for 40 yards and an interception on throws of 15 or more air yards downfield. In the second half, Williams took more shots downfield, completing 7 of 13 passes for 166 yards and a TD. The 166 such passing yards are Williams' most in a half in his career. He finished 24 of 48 for 361 yards with 2 touchdowns and 2 interceptions. Williams has seven game-winning
