CHICAGO — Do you believe in miracles? Yes!

Apparently, even 21-3 halftime deficits aren’t too much for the Cardiac Bears.

Caleb Williams did everything you could possibly ask of him down the stretch. He finished 24-for-48 passing with 361 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions.

His 25-yard touchdown pass to DJ Moore with 1:43 left in the fourth quarter gave the Bears their first lead since a field goal on the first drive of the game. And it ended up being the final difference maker.

The defense did not force a turnover but only allowed six points in the second half.

Still breathing? The Bears have their first playoff win since 2011 and will have a chance to make an NFC Championship Game next week at Soldier Field.
