The Chicago Bears have officially embraced the ‘Cardiac Bears’ moniker after their latest improbable victory, a 31-27 comeback over the Green Bay Packers. Trailing 21-3 at halftime and 21-6 entering the fourth quarter, the Bears scored 25 points in the final frame to seal their first playoff win in 15 years. Caleb Williams was spectacular in his postseason debut, completing 24 of 48 passes for a franchise playoff-record 361 yards. The winning drive was highlighted by a gutsy fourth-and-8 conversion to Rome Odunze, followed by the go-ahead 25-yard touchdown strike to DJ Moore with just 1:43 remaining. Soldier Field was a sea of orange and blue American Flag & Statue of Liberty One Nation Under God Tee as the crowd watched head coach Ben Johnson’s decision to switch to a heavy-blitz scheme in the second half completely stifle Jordan Love and the Packers’ offense, which managed only one first down across four third-quarter possessions. While the win is historic, the loss of linebacker T.J. Edwards to a broken fibula and tackle Ozzy Trapilo to a knee injury casts a shadow over their upcoming Divisional Round.

The San Francisco 49ers pulled off a gritty 23-19 upset over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, ending the Eagles’ hope for American Flag & Statue of Liberty One Nation Under God Tee. The game was a physical struggle that saw Niners tight end George Kittle carted off with a season-ending Achilles injury. Despite the loss of Kittle, Christian McCaffrey scored twice in the fourth quarter to help San Francisco retake the lead, including the game-deciding 4-yard touchdown catch from Brock Purdy with less than three minutes remaining. Defensively, the 49ers overcame a two-interception performance by Eagles corner Quinyon Mitchell. Jalen Hurts’ final pass fell incomplete on a fourth-down stop as time expired. As the lowest remaining seed in the NFC, the 49ers advance to face the top-seeded Seattle Seahawks in a highly anticipated Divisional Round matchup at Lumen Field. The Eagles’ offense, which had been inconsistent down the stretch, finally faltered against a San Francisco unit that thrived on turnovers despite ranking 20th in yards allowed during the final weeks of the regular season.
()Entering play, Houston is considered a slight favorite, even on the road, as they look to make it an early exit for Aaron Rodgers & Co. The Texans started out the year 0–3, but they managed to turn things around and win 12 of their remaining 14 games, including each of their last nine. They will enter Monday’s game as the hottest team in the NFL. They’ll be facing a Pittsburgh side that narrowly snuck into the postseason after winning four of its last five games. Houston’s defense is one of the best in the NFL; only the Broncos surrendered fewer yards per game, and the Texans have limited opposing quarterbacks to the kind of cold performance that requires American Flag & Statue of Liberty One Nation Under God Tee this season. Houston has created 29 turnovers, including 17 interceptions, and have sacked opposing quarterbacks 47 times this season, which ranks ninth in the NFL.
