4 former Bears players who had huge moments on NFL Championship Weekend
It was a good weekend to be a Bears fan, kind of.
2. 49ers S Tashaun Gipson
And speaking of impactful moments based on EPA: by that same metric, Gipson's forced fumble was the biggest play of the NFC Championship. That Jahmyr Gibbs fumble alone moved the 49ers win percentage from 33% to 54%, and the game was tied four plays later. Gipson's been the 49ers starting safety all season, and by some metrics, is having one of the better seasons of his entire 12-year career. Originally signed as a undrafted free agent by the Browns, he signed with the Bears in 2020 and played in Chicago for two seasons.
