Bears Stun Packers in Wild Card Comeback, Rally from 18 Down & Advance | Bleacher Nation Bears

from The Bleacher Nation Bears Podcast · host patrick flowers, matt rooney, luis medina

The Bears pull off an all-time comeback on Wild Card Weekend, rallying from an 18-point deficit to beat the Packers 31-27 and keep their season alive, and the crew breaks it all down on the Bleacher Nation Bears Podcast, presented by Obvious Shirts.Hosts Patrick Flowers, Matt Rooney, and Luis Medina open by reliving the emotional roller coaster of a game that felt lost at halftime — especially considering the private group chat conversations happening at the break. Somehow, the Bears flipped the script, delivering their seventh fourth-quarter comeback of the season in the biggest spot yet.Game balls are handed out following a clutch performance across the board, with Luis giving his to Cairo Santos after a perfect day kicking in cold, windy January conditions, including a huge 51-yarder. Austin Booker also gets plenty of love for his impact off the edge in a game that swung on late defensive pressure.The guys then turn the page to the Divisional Round matchup against the Rams, discussing any lingering concerns, the challenge of facing a West Coast team traveling east for the second straight week, and a few bold predictions — including Luis calling for Caleb Williams to become the first 400-yard passer in Bears playoff history.They close with a look at unsung heroes from the Packers win, the many Bears–Rams storylines worth tracking, and a few lingering questions tied to Ian Cunningham as the playoff run continues.Follow us:Twitter: @PatrickKFlowers, @mrooney23, @lcm1986 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
