First Half: Packers Build a Big Lead
The Bears commenced the game with a promising drive, yet it concluded with a field goal, resulting in a 3–0 lead for Chicago. This would mark one of the few bright spots for the Bears in the early stages of the match.
Green Bay swiftly seized control of the game. Quarterback Jordan Love orchestrated a lengthy touchdown drive, culminating in a touchdown pass to Christian Watson. Shortly thereafter, Love connected again with a deep touchdown throw to Jayden Reed, and just before halftime, the Packers extended their advantage with a short touchdown pass to Romeo Doubs.
In contrast, the Bears grappled with finishing drives effectively and even threw an interception in Packers territory. By halftime, Green Bay had established a commanding 21–3 lead.
Third Quarter: Bears Hang Around
Emerging from halftime, Chicago played with renewed urgency. Quarterback Caleb Williams began to find rookie tight end Colston Loveland across the middle of the field. Loveland made several critical receptions, propelling the Bears deep into scoring position.
The drive concluded with a field goal, reducing the deficit to 21–6. Although the Bears still trailed by two scores, they finally generated some momentum.
Green Bay missed an attempt at a long field goal later in the third quarter, which provided Chicago with a glimmer of hope as they approached the final period.
Fourth Quarter: Bears Score 25 Points in a Wild Rally
The fourth quarter erupted into a frenzy of excitement.
Chicago was the first to score when D’Andre Swift powered in for a rushing touchdown, concluding a strong drive and narrowing the gap to 21–13. The Bears’ sideline erupted with energy.
Shortly after, Williams orchestrated another rapid drive, culminating in a touchdown pass to Olamide Zaccheaus. The Bears then opted to go for a two-point conversion, successfully making it 21–21, thus leveling the game astonishingly.
Green Bay responded with a deep touchdown pass of their own, regaining the lead. However, the Bears were far from finished.
With less than two minutes remaining, Williams executed the most significant play of the night, launching a deep touchdown pass to DJ Moore. In the span of a single quarter, Chicago had managed to score 25 points and seize the advantage.
The Final Stand: Defense Closes It Out
Jordan Love received one last opportunity to mount a response. He guided the Packers down the field into Bears territory, but the Chicago defense held firm. Under intense pressure on the final play, Love was unable to complete the pass, sealing the Bears' remarkable comeback.
The Score
Bears 31, Packers 27
Chicago executed one of the most astounding playoff comebacks in recent history, overturning a 21–6 deficit with a commanding fourth-quarter performance. Caleb Williams exhibited remarkable resilience, D’Andre Swift excelled on the ground, and the Bears’ offense saved its most impressive display for the final moments.
