  • DJ Moore WR | CHI

    Bears' DJ Moore: Scores key TD in playoff win

    Moore secured six of seven targets for 64 yards and a touchdown and rushed once for minus-5 yards in the Bears' 31-27 wild-card win over the Packers on Saturday.

    Moore paced the Bears' wideouts in receptions and receiving yards while tying Luther Burden for the lead in targets on the night. The veteran also made up for a drop earlier in Chicago's game-winning drive by hauling in a 25-yard scoring strike from Caleb Williams that would prove to be the game-winning touchdown. Moore should continue playing an integral role in next weekend's divisional-round clash.

  • Bears' Colston Loveland: Paces pass catchers in playoff win

    Loveland secured eight of 15 targets for 137 yards in the Bears' 31-27 wild-card win over the Packers on Saturday. He also caught a two-point conversion pass.

    Loveland comfortably paced the Bears in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the night, and the latter pair of totals also qualified as new career highs. The standout rookie tight end's two-point conversion grab was also key, coming after a Olamide Zaccheaus touchdown catch and bringing the Bears to within a field goal with just over four minutes remaining. Loveland had wrapped up the regular season with a 10-catch, 91-yard, one-touchdown Week 18 effort versus the Lions, so he'll head into next weekend's divisional round with plenty of momentum.

  • Josh Jacobs RB | GB

    Packers' Josh Jacobs: Stymied by Bears in playoff loss

    Jacobs rushed 19 times for 55 yards and brought in one of three targets for one yard in the Packers' 31-27 wild-card loss to the Bears on Saturday. He also returned two kickoffs for 61 yards and committed a fumble recovered by Green Bay.

    After getting Week 18 off for rest, Jacobs came into Saturday's postseason matchup refreshed, but a Bears defense that had been vulnerable to the run at times was highly effective in cutting off his rushing lanes. Jacobs' long run of the night went for a modest 13 yards, meaning he netted just 42 yards on his other 18 carries. Jacobs had a quiet finish to the regular season as well since he generated just a 16-39-0 rushing line in his last two contests, and he finished the 2025 campaign having amassed 929 rushing yards (4.0 yards per carry), a 36-282-1 tally through the air on 44 targets and three fumbles (two lost) across 15 regular-season games.

  • Jordan Love QB | GB

    Packers' Jordan Love: Tosses four TDs in playoff loss

    Love completed 24 of 46 passes for 323 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions while adding one rush for 11 yards in the Packers' 31-27 wild-card loss to the Bears on Saturday. He also fumbled once but recovered.

    Love was cooking over the first two quarters of Saturday's wild-card matchup, connecting on first-half touchdown passes of seven, 18 and one yard to Christian Watson, Jayden Reed and Romeo Doubs, respectively. Following a quiet, scoreless third quarter, Love capped off a six-play, 54-yard drive with a 23-yard scoring toss to Matthew Golden that answered a Bears TD just past the midway point of the final period. However, Love couldn't counter either of Caleb Williams' two subsequent scoring strikes, although a Brandon McManus missed field goal and a pair of late drops didn't do the veteran signal-caller any favors. Love also mishandled the snap on the final play, which seemed to disrupt his timing and led to some frantic scrambling before he threw incomplete into the end zone as time expired. The furious comeback by the Bears -- the largest in Chicago's postseason history -- sends the Packers into the offseason with an extremely sour taste, but Love enjoyed a solid third year as a starter where he completed 66.3 percent of his passes for 3,381 yards with a 23:6 TD:INT and added a 47-199-0 rushing line and seven fumbles (two lost) across 15 regular-season games.

  • Caleb Williams QB | CHI

    Bears' Caleb Williams: Spearheads historic comeback

    Williams completed 24 of 48 passes for 361 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions while adding four rushes for 20 yards in the Bears' 31-27 wild-card win over the Packers on Saturday. He also threw a two-point conversion pass and committed a fumble recovered by Chicago.

    Williams started and finished strong, with the latter helping him and the Bears overcome some forgettable moments in between. The second-year signal-caller led a marathon 16-play drive that absorbed just under eight minutes of the first quarter and culminated in a field goal that opened the scoring, but Williams went on to throw an interception on his second possession that eventually led to a Packers touchdown. Chicago's other two first-half possessions ended on downs, and his second pick late in the third quarter short-circuited a surefire scoring opportunity since it came at the Packers' two-yard line. However, Williams would come to life late, leading a trio of touchdown drives and capping off the latter two with scoring tosses of eight and 25 yards to Olamide Zaccheaus and DJ Moore, respectively. Williams also connected with Colston Loveland for a two-point conversion after the first TD, and by night's end, he'd set the franchise's new single-game playoff passing yardage record. Williams and his teammates will now gear up for a divisional-round matchup next weekend against a to-be-determined opponent.

  • Ikem Ekwonu OT | CAR

    Panthers' Ikem Ekwonu: Dealing with significant injury

    Ekwonu suffered a significant knee injury Saturday that will carry into the offseason, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Ekwonu suffered the injury early in the first quarter, and he was carted off the field. After the game, he was spotted on crutches with a brace around his knee, per Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer. While there hasn't been an exact diagnosis, Ekwonu is likely to miss at least some offseason activity.

  • Alex Austin CB | NE

    Patriots' Alex Austin: Won't face Chargers

    Austin (wrist) was not activated from injured reserve Saturday and has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's wild-card game against the Chargers.

    Austin turned in three limited practices for the second consecutive week, but it won't be enough for him to return. He hasn't played since Week 12, though he could be back for the divisional round should the Patriots defeat the Chargers on Sunday night.

  • Ajani Carter DB | HOU

    Texans' Ajani Carter: Draws questionable tag

    Carter (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's wild-card matchup against the Steelers, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    Carter has appeared in only two games this season, most recently due to the hamstring injury. He logged full practices throughout the week, so he appears to have a realistic chance to return. However, Carter will need to be activated from injured reserve Sunday to have the chance to suit up.

  • Trent Brown OT | HOU

    Texans' Trent Brown: Ready for postseason

    Brown (ankle/knee) does not have an injury designation ahead of Monday's wild-card matchup against the Steelers, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    Brown missed the Texans' final two games of the regular season with ankle and knee injuries, though he logged two limited practices to begin the week before upgrading to full participation Saturday. He'll be ready to start at right tackle to begin Houston's postseason run.

  • Steelers' Isaiahh Loudermilk: Questionable to face Texans

    Loudermilk (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's wild-card game against the Texans, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

    Loudermilk hasn't taken the field since Week 2, and he logged a pair of limited practices during the week. He'll need to be activated from injured reserve before the game to have the chance to suit up.
