The Bears stunned the Packers with a massive second-half comeback on Saturday night to earn Ben Johnson’s first playoff win as a head coach. Chicago faced an 18-point deficit in the third quarter, at which point Caleb Williams and the offense finally woke up. They outscored Green Bay 28-6 the rest of the way and pulled off a remarkable victory in front of an ecstatic Soldier Field crowd.
It marked another enthralling chapter of the Bears-Packers rivalry, which has been reinvigorated this season thanks to the unexpectedly tense relationship between Johnson and Green Bay boss Matt LaFleur. It was on full display moments after the game when the two coaches engaged in perhaps the briefest postgame handshake of all time, and Johnson carried the energy into the locker room.
