In the history of the NFL, there are plenty of games with names attached to them.
The 1967 NFL Championship Game between the Packers and Cowboys is called "The Ice Bowl," the 1999 AFC Wild Card Playoff Game between the Titans and Bills is dubbed "The Music City Miracle" and the 1972 AFC Divisional Playoff Game between the Raiders and Steelers is forever known as the "Immaculate Reception."
The Chicago Bears, or someone, can try and come up with a name for this specific game, the Bears' 21-6 comeback win over the Packers in the NFC Wild Card round.
Here are our takeaways from the Bears' NFC Wild Card comeback win over the Packers.
The Bears did to Green Bay what the Packers have done to Chicago
Bears fans’ recent and long-term memory regarding the Green Bay Packers includes very little happiness.
The Packers have already beaten the Bears 10 times in the 2020s. In the 2010s, the Bears won just four games against the Packers. The Bears haven’t had a winning record over the Packers in a decade since the 1980s.
Then, there’s the constant reminder that Green Bay enjoyed back-to-back Hall of Fame quarterbacks, while the Bears went from Cade McNown, with a total of 30 quarterbacks in between, before finally getting to Caleb Williams.
The Packers have a list of games that cause Bears’ fans heartache: 2010 NFC title game, the 2013 NFC North clinching game, the 2014 Sunday Night Football massacre and last year’s game-winning field goal block to name just a few.
Saturday night was the opposite
Instead of the Bears having to endure a tragic and devastating loss at the hands of Green Bay, the Packers have to endure a devastating loss at the Bears’ hands.
This was the 21-3 Game.
"It's about time," Bears defensive back Kyler Gordon said. "It’s never always been a blowout or anything like that. It’s just a matter of having those details in the type of team with the same mentality that we got this year. When we got a team like this, anything’s possible."
