In camp, Ben Johnson showed the Bears the 28-3 Patriots-Falcons Super Bowl

Our Summary

The Chicago Bears mounted a significant comeback to overturn a 21-3 deficit against the Green Bay Packers on Saturday, fueled by belief instilled during training camp. Head coach Ben Johnson had reminded the team of the New England Patriots' famous Super Bowl LI comeback from a 28-3 disadvantage. Johnson emphasized the potential for an unforgettable victory rather than succumbing to adversity. The presence of former Super Bowl LI players, Grady Jarrett and Joe Thuney, who experienced the game firsthand, further motivated the Bears. Their victory over the Packers parallels the Patriots' historic win, marking a memorable playoff triumph for Chicago.
