I did not watch the Bears-Packers playoff game last night, but I got real-time updates from my friends and family. You can bet I'm going to watch the highlight reel this afternoon:
The Bears won this way all season and delivered yet another thriller Saturday to stay alive in the playoffs.
They rallied from a big deficit to beat the Packers 31-27 in their wild-card game at Soldier Field and advanced to host the Rams or defending champion Eagles in the divisional round. It was their first playoff victory since 2011.
They rallied from down 21-3 early, as well as trailing 27-16 in the last five minutes, on a furious charge by quarterback Caleb Williams and the offense. He put them ahead with a 25-yard pass to DJ Moore with 1:43 left, and the Bears’ defense did its job at the end of a rocky night on that side of the ball.
Ultimately, the Bears got 25 points in the 4th quarter, which is like getting four goals in the last 15 minutes of regulation play in everybody else's football. Imagine Manchester City trailing Chelsea 3-0 at 50 minutes, and then going on to win 4-3 with the last goal at 88 minutes of regulation. Not penalty kicks; an actual goal.
Cassie and I are talking an hour-long walk before lunch so I don't have time to watch just now. But this afternoon, while I'm cutting over to the new Daily Parker, I'm going to watch the 4th quarter. Because, wow.
