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

On Saturday, the Bears scored a field goal to cut the Packers’ lead to 16-9 with 1:59 left. They then recovered an onside kick, leading to a touchdown pass from Caleb Williams to Jahdae Walker that sent the game into overtime. Williams then hit DJ 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 remaining, which gave the Vikings a 17-16 lead. But Cairo Santos scored a basket 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 victory.
In Week 9, 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 6, the Bears trailed the Commanders 24-22 in the final seconds, but Jake Moody made a 38-yard field goal as time expired to win 25-24.
In Week 4, the Bears trailed the Raiders 24-19 at the two-minute warning, but a D’Andre Swift touchdown run with 1:34 left gave them a 25-24 victory.
The best teams are the ones that come away with blowout wins and don’t need to come from behind late in the fourth quarter, and that’s one reason Chicago is worried heading into the playoffs. But this year’s Bears never think they’re out of the game.
