Lil Wayne Took a Shot — Caleb Williams Responded
In the NFC Wild Card game, the Chicago Bears pulled off a dramatic comeback, rallying from a 21–3 halftime deficit to defeat the Green Bay Packers 31–27 at Soldier Field.
Caleb Williams led the turnaround with a poised second half, capped by a 25-yard touchdown pass to DJ Moore with 1:43 remaining. Chicago scored 25 points in the fourth quarter alone, flipping the game and advancing to the Divisional Round. It truly was one of the most improbable postseason comebacks in NFL history.
The reaction spilled beyond the field. Longtime Packers fan Lil Wayne took to X after the loss, posting a frustrated and profane message that included a shot at Williams’ painted nails—a personal style choice the quarterback has become known for in his football career.
Williams responded, posting only a set of emojis and “#DABEARS,” a subtle reply that quickly went viral. The brief exchange fueled an already intense rivalry and put a stamp on a historic night for Bears fans.
For Chicago, the win was both a playoff breakthrough and a statement. Williams delivered in the biggest moment, and the Bears walked away having beaten their biggest rival—on the scoreboard and online.
