It was deja vu Saturday night as the Chicago Bears beat the Green Bay Packers again with a big, late comeback at Soldier Field, 31-27, to advance to the divisional round of the playoffs.

Caleb Williams’ 25-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver DJ Moore with 1:08 left in regulation completed a comeback from an 18-point halftime deficit. It was reminiscent of the teams’ Week 16 matchup when the Bears erased a 16-6 fourth-quarter deficit to win in overtime — one in which Williams also connected with Moore for the winning score.

The comeback win was especially fitting for the Bears — it’s something they did a franchise-record six times in the regular season. Saturday’s win was the largest comeback in Bears playoff history.

The Bears will host either the No. 3 Eagles or the No. 5 Rams in the divisional round next week, depending on the outcome of Sunday’s game between the Eagles and the No. 6 49ers.

The Packers jumped to a 21-3 halftime lead Saturday, scoring three touchdowns on three attempts, all Jordan Love passes. Love finished 24-for-46 for 323 yards and four touchdowns.

The second half was a different story, as the Bears defense cooled off Love, and Williams and the offense chipped away at the deficit. A D’Andre Swift 5-yard touchdown run with 10:08 left in the fourth quarter cut the score to 21-16, setting up another nail-biting finish.

Williams finished 24-for-48 for 361 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions.

The Packers answered when rookie receiver Matthew Golden, their top pick who hadn’t scored a TD all season, broke multiple tackles for a score and a 27-16 lead with 6:36 left in regulation. Williams responded, leading a 10-play, 78-yard drive that culminated with an 8-yard touchdown pass to Olamide Zaccheaus and a 2-point conversion to rookie tight end Colston Loveland to make it 27-24 with 4:18 left.

A missed 44-yard field goal attempt by Brandon McManus set the stage for the Bears’ drive to take the lead. A final Packers drive ended with a Love incomplete pass in the end zone as time expired.

Bears coach Ben Johnson’s impressive first season in Chicago continued after winning the NFC North and earning the No. 2 seed at 11-6. Saturday’s win was the Bears’ first since a 2010 divisional round win.

The seventh-seeded Packers limped into the playoffs on a four-game losing streak and without top players like the freshly minted first-team All-Pro defensive end Micah Parsons, standout tight end Tucker Kraft and defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt, and failed to take advantage of the clean slate LaFleur said the playoffs offered.

Of course, it happened this way

This makes so little sense that it makes perfect sense, right? Of course, the Bears’ first playoff victory in 15 years came this way, in this season, with a ridiculous second-half comeback against the rival Packers, thanks to Caleb Williams’ late 25-yard touchdown pass to DJ Moore.
