Misery Index · Euphoric
Bears fans cashing in 20 years of Packers misery on one playoff night and refusing to be humble about it.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
C.Williams to D.Moore for the go-ahead 25-yard score with 1:48 left, then a J.Love fumble on the final snap to seal it — Chicago finally got the Packers game it has been daydreaming about for two decades. The McManus miss wide right kept the door cracked open just long enough, and the Bears walked through it. Twenty years of waiting, cashed in on a January afternoon, and the handshake line told the rest of the story.
