Angel Reese has made her loyalty clear once again, celebrating the Chicago Bears‘ stunning 31-27 comeback over the Green Bay Packers on Saturday night on January 10, proving her support extends beyond her WNBA roots with the Chicago Sky.
The Bears faced a daunting deficit, trailing 21-6 entering the fourth quarter, but Chicago erupted for 25 points to seal the victory and clinch the season series over Green Bay 2-1, thrilling fans across Soldier Field.
Angel Reese surprises by showing her lifestyle side on social media
Reese shared a succinct, two-word message on social media to mark the win. “BEAR DOWN,” she wrote, capturing the spirit of the rally without need for lengthy commentary, echoing the efficiency of Caleb Williams‘ own heroics.
Williams, who threw for 361 yards and two touchdowns despite two interceptions, provided the spark, connecting on critical passes to DJ Moore and Colston Loveland, driving Chicago’s historic postseason resurgence.
Reese is not the only high-profile female sports star backing the Bears, with gymnastics legend Simone Biles a regular at Soldier Field as the wife of safety Jonathan Owens.
Unlike Reese, however, Caitlin Clark has publicly refrained from aligning with the Bears or other local teams within the Great Lakes region. While, she has a fondness for the Kansas City Chiefs, she has admitted she’ll be pulling for the Patriots in this year’s Playoffs.
“Honestly, I’m a Drake Maye fan. I think he’s been incredible. … I’ll probably be pulling for the Patriots,” she told the New Heights podcast.
In 2025, Clark was spotted at Arrowhead Stadium in an executive suite with Taylor Swift and says she has backed Patrick Mahomes‘ team since she was a little girl, highlighting a split among elite athletes outside their immediate leagues or hometown ties.
The Bears now await their divisional-round clash with the Los Angeles Rams, whilst the San Francisco 49ers take on the Seattle Seahawks in the other game. The winners will book tickets to the NFC Championship Game.
Bears stun Packers and rescue hopeless situation
Chicago executed the largest postseason comeback in franchise history, overturning an 18-point deficit to defeat Green Bay 31-27, a testament to resilience and late-game execution under immense pressure from a bitter division rival.
The Packers stormed out to a commanding lead, powered by Jordan Love‘s touchdown drives, but the Bears slowly clawed back, combining disciplined play-calling with clutch performances to stay in contention through the second half.
The fourth quarter produced 31 combined points, with Chicago scoring 25, including Williams’ pinpoint pass to Moore in the final two minutes, which ultimately secured the win and energized the Soldier Field crowd to a fever pitch.
Williams’ record-breaking 361 passing yards underscored his ability to deliver under pressure, while overcoming two early interceptions and multiple near-misses to lead the team’s offensive resurgence in the playoffs.
Green Bay’s final drive included a botched Hail Mary attempt as time expired, solidifying the Bears’ historic comeback and granting them momentum heading into the divisional round, where Soldier Field will host their next clash.
This dramatic finish reinforces the Bears’ tenacity and highlights Reese’s spirited support, contrasting sharply with Clark’s neutral stance, while Chicago now looks ahead with confidence and renewed energy for the playoffs.
Can they win the Super Bowl for the first time since 1985? That remains to be seen, but Soldier Field is buzzing with life under Ben Johnson and the troops are ready for war.
