Caleb Williams, DJ Moore Spark Stunning OT Win Over Packers in Rivalry Classic
In a game that already had plenty of history behind it, the Bears added a new chapter - and this one might be remembered for a long time in Chicago.
Saturday night’s showdown between the Bears and Packers had all the makings of a classic NFC North slugfest. But what unfolded in overtime felt like something out of a movie. After Green Bay came up empty on their first possession in OT, Caleb Williams - the Bears’ rookie quarterback - stepped into the moment and delivered one of the most impressive throws of his young career.
With the game on the line, Williams uncorked a 46-yard strike to DJ Moore, who hauled it in for the walk-off touchdown. Just like that, Bears win.
Soldier Field erupted. And the rivalry got another unforgettable moment.

Moore, understandably, was fired up after the game. He didn’t hold back in his on-field interview, letting the emotion of the moment pour out.
“Lots of ups and downs on our side, but we fought until the end, made that s--- happen,” he said. Then, with a grin and a message that will no doubt echo through both locker rooms, he added: “It means a lot.
At the end of the day, it’s F the Packers always.”
That interview? Instantly iconic.
But Moore wasn’t done. Back in the locker room, the celebration continued - and so did the digs at Green Bay.
With the game ball in hand and music blasting, Moore threw on a cheese grater headpiece - a not-so-subtle shot at the Packers’ famous cheesehead tradition. It was the kind of postgame energy that defines rivalries and fuels fanbases.
And here’s the thing: This win might be more than just a feel-good moment. If the Lions lose to the Steelers on Sunday, the Bears officially punch their ticket to the playoffs.
Even if that doesn’t happen right away, Chicago looks like a team that’s peaking at the right time. The defense is playing with swagger, Williams is growing more comfortable each week, and Moore?
He’s clearly ready for the spotlight.

If this is the kind of fire the Bears are bringing into the postseason, the NFC better be ready. Chicago isn’t just chasing a playoff spot anymore - they’re starting to believe they can make some real noise once they get there.
