1. I've been a Bears fan a long damn time, and I am accustomed to being disappointed. After a while you begin to expect to be disappointed.

2. Packers defense was stellar for 55 minutes. They lost not just Micah Parsons but excellent safety Evan Williams, and they still were dominant.

3. Down by ten in the fourth and forced to settle for a field goal? Usually a recipe for losing. Then they took really too long to kick the field goal that they had to try an onside kick.

4. Onside kicks are almost always unsuccessful.

But they pulled off another miracle.
