The Bears and Packers delivered us another one of the best games of the season Saturday night, just a couple of days after the OT thriller between the Seahawks and Rams.

Similarly, this NFC North showdown also went into OT in stunning fashion.

With just two minutes left, Cairo Santos had a kick in the air which made it a 16-9 ball game. What happened next was out of a movie. A feel-good picture if you’re a Chicago fan and a horror film if you’re a cheesehead.

The Bears then attempted an onside kick, which has a 1/12 chance of success. Tonight they were the one. They subsequently drove down the field, and Caleb righted his wrongs from their last matchup, throwing a TD this time on 4th down to take the game into OT.

Once in OT, the most clutch team in the NFL did their thing. Caleb Williams uncorked a 55-yard dot to DJ Moore for the win in one of the most iconic moments in recent Bears history.

Not only is Chicago the most clutch team in the NFL this season, but after this win, they became the most clutch team in the history of the sport.

The Bears have established themselves as a team with zero quit in them this season. From the culture Ben Johnson established in the offseason to the “Ice Man’ persona Caleb Williams has adopted, you can never count this team out.

By winning against Green Bay Saturday night, Chicago’s clutch gene broke an NFL record.

The Bears now have more clutch wins (trailing inside of two minutes) than any other team in NFL history (6).

This is a team that, regardless of who they’re playing, never sees themselves as being out of the game. That is a dangerous team to see come playoff time.

The Packers were good tonight, the Bears were better, and that finish was just the best.
