The 2025 Bears can never be counted out.
Saturday’s overtime win over the Packers was the sixth time this season that the Bears have won a team they were trailing in the final two minutes of the fourth quarter. They’re the first team in NFL history to win six games they trailed after the two-minute warning.

On Saturday, the Bears kicked a field goal to cut the Packers’ lead to 16-9 with 1:59 remaining. They then recovered an onside kick, leading to a Caleb Williams touchdown pass to Jahdae Walker that sent the game into overtime. Williams then hit D.J. Moore for a 46-yard touchdown to win the game 22-6 in overtime.
In Week 11, the Bears gave up a touchdown with 50 seconds left that gave the Vikings a 17-16 lead. But Cairo Santos hit a field goal as time expired to win 19-17.
In Week 10, the Bears trailed the Giants 20-17 at the two-minute warning, but Williams scored a 17-yard rushing touchdown for a 24-20 win.
In Week Nine, the Bears led the Bengals 41-27 at the two-minute warning, only to give up two quick touchdowns and fall behind the Bengals 42-41. But Williams hit Colston Loveland for a 58-yard touchdown with 17 seconds left to win 47-42.

In Week Six, the Bears trailed the Commanders 24-22 in the closing seconds, but Jake Moody hit a 38-yard field goal as time expired to win 25-24.
In Week Four, the Bears trailed the Raiders 24-19 at the two-minute warning but a D’Andre Swift touchdown run with 1:34 remaining gave them a 25-24 win.
The best teams are the ones that win blowouts and don’t need to come from behind at the end of the fourth quarter, and that’s a reason for Chicago to be concerned heading into the playoffs. But this year’s Bears never think they’re out of any game.
