Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears are heading to the NFC divisional round following another comeback victory.
All-Pros Matthew Stafford and Puka Nacua helped the Los Angeles Rams advance with a last-minute win.
The NFL playoffs kicked off Saturday with two wacky, wild-card games.
The Bears (12-6) trailed the Green Bay Packers 21-3 at halftime and 27-16 with just under seven minutes left in the fourth quarter before Williams threw a pair of touchdown passes. His 25-yard TD toss to D.J. Moore put Chicago ahead 31-27 with 1:43 remaining. Then Jordan Love’s desperation heave into the end zone from the Bears 28 was knocked down as time expired to secure Chicago’s first playoff win since the 2010 season.
Williams finished with 361 yards passing, two TDs and two interceptions for the No. 2 seed Bears, who will host the Rams (13-5) or Philadelphia Eagles next weekend.
