Historical Significance & Recent Milestones
- The victory over the Packers on January 10, 2026, is formally the largest comeback in Bears playoff history. Trailing 21–3 at halftime, the Bears erupted for 25 fourth-quarter points. It is the only game on this list where the team trailing by 15+ in the fourth quarter won a playoff game in regulation since the 2016 Patriots.
- Only twice has the franchise overcome a 20-point hole. The 2006 game is unique because the Bears won without an offensive touchdown.
- The 17-point comeback against Tennessee in 2024 was Caleb Williams' NFL debut. Like the 2006 Arizona game, the offense did not score a touchdown, with the comeback fueled by special teams (blocked punt TD) and defense (pick-six).
- The 19-point comeback against the 49ers featured a walk-off interception return for a touchdown in overtime. This was part of a back-to-back sequence where safety Mike Brown won two straight games with overtime defensive scores—a feat never replicated in NFL history.
Deficits reflect the largest point differential during the game. Scores are based on official NFL game books. This table is updated as additional qualifying games are identified.
