Over the past week, Chicago Bears fans got to see plenty of Green Bay Packers players do a little talking. We saw multiple players talk about how the Packers wanted the Bears in the first round of the playoffs.

Whether it was Keisean Nixon, Josh Jacobs or Christian Watson, the Packers were very vocal about the fact that they wanted Chicago and they wanted them bad.

Well, after the Bears came back to stun the Packers once again, but this time ending their season in the NFC's Wild Card round, quarterback Caleb Williams was asked about the topic at hand. In his postgame press conference, Williams was asked about the Packers' longing for Chicago in this Wild Card matchup.

The guy now referred to as the "Ice Man" responded:

"They wanted it. And they got it."

I don't know if you could have fired louder shots with any other combination of seven words, because Williams went for the jugular.

Caleb Williams' career-defining game sent the Packers packing and the Bears to the NFC's Divisional Round

Finishing just two yards short of his career-high with 361 passing yards in this one, Williams played exactly as he had in every other game, during crunch time, in the win over Green Bay.

For a couple of quarters, and then some, the Bears' offense looked awfully dormant. They couldn't get much going and were only 1-for-5 on fourth down at one point. Going down by a score of 21-3 at halftime, Chicago looked dead in the water.

It was a familiar feeling for this fan base, but just when all hope looked lost, Williams put on his Superman cape and went to work. In the end, Chicago got the last laugh.

As for the likes of Christian Watson, this response by Williams was especially sweet.

"We definitely wanted to play the Bears. We get a chance to put the Bears' season to bed," he told Packers reporters just days before the game.

A chance you did, indeed have, have Mr. Watson!

And then, poof! It was gone.

In the blink of an eye, these cardiac Bears did what they've done all season long and saw Williams engineer his seventh career game-winning drive.

Bears fans will be enjoying this one for a long time, regardless of how this postseason turns out. Williams has the Packers' number, now, going 3-1 in his last four against Green Bay.

Oh, how the tables have turned.
