Everyone remembers this classic. While the Bears’ comeback itself was memorable, it was then-Cardinals head coach Denny Green’s postgame press conference that will live on in infamy.
“The Bears are who we thought they were and we let them off the hook!”

As for the game itself, the Bears overcame a 23-3 deficit which was ignited late in the third quarter. The Bears rallied from behind scoring two defensive touchdowns and one on special teams to escape the desert with a 24-23 victory.
The Bears got touchdowns from safety Mike Brown (a fumble forced by defensive end Mark Anderson), cornerback Charles Tillman (another fumble forced by linebacker Brian Urlacher) and a punt return touchdown by kick returner Devin Hester that gave Chicago a 24-23 lead in the final three minutes that they wouldn’t relinquish.
The win helped the Bears improve to 6-0 during a magical season that ended with a Super Bowl XLI appearance.
