    AFTERSHOW: CURSE BROKEN! Chicago Bears Eliminate Packers In Playoffs! | Brick by Brick Postgame
    Jan 11 2026

    CURSE BROKEN! The Chicago Bears did it AGAIN! Caleb Williams and the Bears overcame a 21–3 halftime deficit to SHOCK the Green Bay Packers in the Wild Card round of the NFL Playoffs in the most remarkable game of the season. Chicago opened the scoring with a field goal, but the Packers answered with touchdowns on three straight possessions to seize control before halftime. The Bears showed life in the second half as the defense forced three consecutive three-and-outs, while the offense chipped away with field goals. D’Andre Swift made it a one-score game with a fourth-quarter touchdown before Matthew Golden’s first TD of the season briefly gave Green Bay breathing room. Then Caleb Williams took over—leading a lightning-fast drive capped by an Olamide Zaccheaus touchdown and a Colston Loveland two-point conversion. After a missed field goal by Brandon McManus, Williams delivered the dagger, connecting with DJ Moore on a 25-yard go-ahead touchdown to seal the comeback. The Bears defense closed the door, eliminating the Packers and breaking the curse once and for all. Postgame coverage of the Chicago Bears vs Green Bay Packers NFL Playoff Wild Card game, featuring former Chicago Bears Lance Briggs and Jerry Azumah, hosted by Greg Braggs Jr., on the Brick by Brick Postgame Show.

    The Chicago Bears did it AGAIN! Caleb Williams and the Bears overcame a 21-3 halftime deficit to SHOCK the Packers in the Wild Card Round of the NFL Playoffs! The first half of a tale of two halves started when Bears scored a field goal on the first possession of the game. The Packers scored touchdowns on each of their next three possessions. The Bears showed life in the second half with the defense forcing three-consecutive 3-and-outs but the offense settled for field goals on two of those possessions. D’Andre Swift made it interesting after scoring in the 4th quarter to cut it to a 1-score game. Matthew Golden’s first TD of the season gave the Packers some short-lived comfort. But Caleb Williams marched the Bears down the field for a quick Olamide Zaccheaus TD and a Colston Loveland 2-point conversion to cut it to a 3-point game. An ensuing missed field goal by Brandon McManus gave the Bears the ball back with a chance to tie or take the lead. And Caleb connected with DJ Moore on 25-yard TD to GIVE THE BEARS THE LEAD! The Bears stopped the Packers last-gasp attempt to win the MOST REMARKABLE GAME OF THE SEASON!
