Caleb Williams led the Chicago Bears to an 18-point comeback victory over the Green Bay Packers in a thrilling wildcard playoff game. With a 25-yard touchdown pass to DJ Moore in the final minute, Williams sealed the 31-27 win, marking the Bears' first playoff success in 15 years. The NFC North champions, guided by coach Ben Johnson, showcased their resilience, bouncing back from a 21-3 halftime deficit and a 21-6 third-quarter score. The Packers, who started the season with Super Bowl aspirations, dropped five consecutive games, finishing with a 9-8-1 record. Williams, despite a shaky start, threw for 361 yards and two late touchdowns, completing 24 of 48 passes. The Bears' Olamide Zaccheaus caught eight passes for 137 yards, and D'Andre Swift's 5-yard run early in the fourth quarter brought the score to 21-16. The Packers' Matthew Golden made a 23-yard catch-and-run for his first career touchdown, but the Bears' Brandon McManus missed an extra point. The game's turning point came when Jaquan Brisker broke up a pass in the end zone as time expired, securing the Bears' victory and a divisional-round game next weekend. This win marks the Bears' third in the past five games against the Packers, shifting the momentum in the NFL's longest-standing rivalry.
