In their wild-card victory over the Green Bay Packers on Saturday night, the Chicago Bears broke a franchise record that stood for 93 years.

The Bears trailed by a whopping 18 points going into halftime, which was the team's largest halftime deficit in a home playoff game in franchise history.

Chicago also trailed 21-6 going into the fourth quarter before pulling off an incredible comeback to beat Green Bay, 31-27.

During the Prime Video broadcast, it was revealed that the largest fourth-quarter deficit the Bears had ever overcome was five points, which happened in 1933.

So, seeing as how the Bears overcame a 15-point fourth-quarter deficit in the wild-card game versus the Packers, they have now set a new franchise record.

The comeback in and of itself is incredible enough, but it's even more impressive when you consider that the Bears looked dead in the water in the first half.

But I guess we really shouldn't be that surprised.

After all, the Bears have been pulling off ridiculous comebacks all season long, and they have even done so against the Packers.

Safe to say, nobody should ever count the Caleb Williams and the Bears out until the final whistle.

The Bears will happily take this victory and will now advance into the divisional round of the postseason, where they're opponent is yet to be determined.
