The Green Bay Packers’ season came to a stunning and painful end on Saturday night, and the fallout has already sparked questions about what comes next for one of the NFL’s traditionally stable franchises. After watching a commanding lead disappear in a 31-27 Wild Card loss to the Chicago Bears, attention quickly shifted from the field to the future of head coach Matt LaFleur.
In the immediate aftermath, quarterback Jordan Love was asked directly during the post-game press conference about the uncertainty that often follows a season-ending collapse, and Love acknowledged the reality of the situation while stopping short of...

The Chicago Bears’ rivalry with the Green Bay Packers reached another boiling point on Saturday night, and head coach Ben Johnson made sure no one missed how much the moment meant.
Chicago erased another deficit to stun Green Bay 31-27 at Soldier Field in the NFC Wild Card round, extending a Cinderella postseason run and ending the Packers’ season in dramatic fashion. While the comeback itself was historic, the Bears’ largest postseason rally and their biggest comeback ever against Green Bay, Johnson’s postgame comments added an extra layer of tension to an already heated rivalry.

The Dallas Cowboys suffered through a disappointing season in Brian Schottenheimer’s head coaching debut. The Cowboys missed the playoffs for the second straight year, finishing second in the NFC East with a 7-9-1 record.
Dallas’ season went off the rails early as Jerry Jones chose to trade Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers rather than pay the star pass rusher. The team never recovered from the move. And Cowboys fans were reminded of the blunder when the 2025 All-Pro selections were announced on Saturday.
Parsons earned first-team All-Pro honors in his debut season with Green Bay. However, the Cowboys...

The Green Bay Packers saw their season crumble at Soldier Field on Saturday night, surrendering an 18-point lead to fall 31-27 to the Chicago Bears. While Caleb Williams’ fourth-quarter heroics stole the headlines, the math tells a more painful story for the Cheesehead faithful. The Packers lost by four points. Their kicker, Brandon McManus, left seven points on the field.
It was a nightmare performance for the veteran specialist. McManus missed two field goals and botched an extra point, mistakes that ultimately doomed Green Bay in a tight contest. In a playoff atmosphere where every yard is a struggle, handing...

Last month, when the Chicago Bears beat the Green Bay Packers on a Caleb Williams to DJ Moore walk-off 46-yard touchdown pass in overtime, the Packers and their fans were ticked off at DJ’s headgear in the postgame celebration.
Moore was again at the center of an improbable comeback, this time with his 25-yard go-ahead touchdown catch from Williams with 1:48 left in the game.
The score held as Chicago’s defense came through and stopped Green Bay’s comeback try.
After the game, the Amazon Prime Video crew had Williams, Moore, and rookie Colston Loveland on set to talk about the...

For Matt LaFleur and the Green Bay Packers, Saturday night at Soldier Field was a total system shock. After dominating the Chicago Bears for the better part of his tenure, LaFleur watched a 21-3 halftime lead evaporate into a stunning 31-27 Wild Card defeat.
Speaking to reporters after the game, the Packers’ head coach didn’t try to sugarcoat the collapse. The disappointment was written all over his face as he addressed the sudden end to their season at the hands of their oldest rival.
“This is the greatest organization in the world, in my opinion, and it’s very humbling,” LaFleur...

Bear down, baby! The Chicago Bears exorcised their playoff demons in the most heart-stopping way possible. The Bears orchestrated a massive second half comeback to win 31-27 against the Green Bay Packers. After going down 21-3 at halftime, quarterback Caleb Williams did what he’s done best this season: lead his team to another improbable come-from-behind victory.
The Bears notching their first playoff victory since 2010 feels great. The fact that it was against their most bitter rival, the Packers, while at home in front of their fans makes it even sweeter. It’s no surprise that the Bears are feeling themselves...

The Green Bay Packers came dangerously close to handing the Chicago Bears a momentum-changing gift on Saturday night, thanks to one of the most chaotic play designs of the postseason.
With Green Bay holding a comfortable lead in the second half, the offense dialed up an unexpected wrinkle: a tackle-eligible screen pass to reserve offensive lineman Darian Kinnard. Filling in for injured starter Zach Tom, Kinnard reported as eligible and became the target of a short pass from Jordan Love deep in Packers territory.
The play initially worked. Kinnard rumbled forward for six yards, showcasing surprising balance for a 300-plus-pound...

During the Chicago Bears’ 31- 27 win over the Green Bay Packers, they lost a couple of starters to injury.
Linebacker T.J. Edwards had to be carted off the field in the final minute of the half, and left tackle Ozzy Trapillo hopped to the sideline in the waning moments of the fourth quarter. Ozzy getting off the field without the referee needing to stop the game saved the Bears a timeout.
In his postgame press conference, head coach Ben Johnson said that Edwards has a fractured fibula, which will take him out for the remainder of the postseason, and...

I’m pretty much non-verbal after watching the Green Bay Packers choke away a second straight game to the Chicago Bears (and they tried to do it three times). Here’s a quick rundown of the team’s snap counts. If I have something to say about it, it’s noted. No full breakdowns this week.
