The Chicago Bears delivered a night their fans waited 15 years to celebrate, storming back to beat the Green Bay Packers 31-27 and secure a playoff victory.

Chicago spent most of Wildcard Weekend chasing the game, but once again found a way to survive. After trailing by as many as 18 points, the Bears erupted for 25 points in the fourth quarter, completing the biggest postseason comeback in franchise history.

The win sends Chicago into the Divisional Round alongside the Los Angeles Rams, who narrowly avoided an upset earlier after Colby Parkinson’s late touchdown sealed a 34-31 victory over the Carolina Panthers with just 38 seconds left.
