No Less Than Four Records Were Broken In Chicago Bears’ Conquest Of Green Bay

Saturday night at Soldier Field felt special. That is because it was. The Chicago Bears hadn’t beaten the Green Bay Packers twice in a calendar year since 2007. They hadn’t beaten them in the playoffs since 1941. Everybody knew it would take a herculean effort to reverse decades of history. That is what happened in the final 15 minutes as the Bears erased a 21-3 Packers lead to punch their ticket to the divisional round. It was their first playoff victory in 15 years and the third straight one-and-done postseason exit for Green Bay.
