In the NFL's history, there have been some incredible playoff comebacks, but few are like the one we saw last night from the Chicago Bears.
It was such an impressive comeback by Chicago that it put them in rarified playoff air. Before last night, in the NFL playoffs, teams that entered the 4th quarter down 15+ points were 3-158. They're now 4-158.
The defense holding the Packers to just six points in the second half after allowing 21 in the first, paired with another Caleb Williams second-half masterclass, led to the incredible comeback.
The Bears were the most clutch team in the league this season, and maybe of all time; it's what they do.
When the Bears went into the locker room at halftime, it certainly seemed like all hope was lost. That was not the case for Caleb Williams, and his messaging to his team may have just gotten them all believing as well.

Caleb Williams has been just sensational in the biggest moments this season, even developing the nickname 'Iceman'.
It was revealed after the game by Cole Kmet that the Bears' fearless leader, Caleb Williams, had a message for the team at halftime. It was one that would eventually come to fruition, too.
Caleb Williams said, "We are going to have the greatest comeback in Bears history."

It's astounding for a second-year QB to have this level of confidence already. It's based not only on the life that's been spoken into him by his new head coach, Ben Johnson, but also on his own performances this season.
They'll need that kind of confidence next week when they take on the Los Angeles Rams.
