Nobody has come down from Cloud Nine after the Chicago Bears pulled off a stunning win over the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Wild Card game.
Chicago came back from being down 18 points at halftime to complete their largest comeback of the season. It's a story the Bears fan base has seen time and time again in 2025, but this one felt different since it was the playoffs and against their division rivals.
For the rest of the NFL that hasn't seen the Bears this season, what they accomplished was incredible and something rarely seen during 2025. CBS Sports writer Doug Clawson shared a stat that proves that the Bears are just different from other NFL teams.
"The Bears are 3-3 when down 10+ points in the final 5 minutes of the 4th quarter this season.
The rest of the NFL is 3-158."
Chicago Bears going into the Divisional Round feeling invincible
They are called the Cardiac Bears for a reason. The crazy part is that the Bears have done it twice against the Packers this season, coming back from down 10 to win the game. Chicago also did it against the New York Giants earlier in the season when they were down 20-10 with five minutes left, and two touchdowns helped them win 24-20.
Going into their NFC Divisional Round against the Los Angeles Rams, while the Bears would prefer not to be in that situation, it's at least good to know Chicago has the ability to come back. The Rams' biggest meltdown of the season came in Week 3 against the Philadelphia Eagles, when they blew a 19-point lead in the second half and lost. Los Angeles has some experience with this.
When Chicago's backs are up against the wall, Bears quarterback Caleb Williams is about as clutch as they get. Williams has led an NFL-high seven comebacks and game-winning drives this season.
