The cardiac Chicago Bears lived up to their name on Saturday night.

The Bears trailed the Green Bay Packers 21-3 at halftime of their wild-card contest. Chicago’s offense didn’t come alive until the fourth quarter, scoring 25 points to earn a 31-27 win in front of 60,338 fans at Soldier Field.
Second-year quarterback Caleb Williams didn’t have a strong start in his first postseason game, throwing two interceptions. But Williams kept his composure, throwing for 361 yards and two fourth quarter touchdown passes to give the Bears their first postseason win since 2010.
During his postgame interview on the Amazon Prime broadcast, Williams admitted he was frustrated early in the game with the slow start, but used his anger to help lead drives late in the game.
“Like I said in the beginning of the week, whatever it takes–the frustration,” Williams said. “Play with the frustration, play with the anger, all of that. And you know, use that for our advantage. Use home field advantage. Much love to the fans and everybody here.”
The Chicago Bears have no quit

Williams had a fierce message for the league, saying the Bears are built to play for all 60 minutes of the game.
Chicago has no quit.
“We understand that it’s 60 minutes of football,” Williams said. “We understand and know who we are. We understand what this means to the city, we understand what this means to the organization. We also understand what this means to us. And so you keep going and keep going.
“Keep fighting, and when the clock hits zero, and when the clock hits zero, you’ll look up and see who wins.”
The Bears are set to have another home game in the divisional round. If the Philadelphia Eagles beat the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, Chicago will host the Eagles.
If the 49ers win, the Bears will host the Los Angeles Rams.
Be it the Eagles or Rams, the Bears plan to fight for 60 minutes.
