This Packer team was just completely on fire for the title run. Came out of nowhere, .barely made the playoffs and were the Superbowl favorites by the time they got there, then didn't disappoint against an absolutely stacked Steelers squad. One of the great post season runs in NFL history.
Truth be told they benefited from playing a banged up Steeler team who suffered major injuries to key starters in their playoff wins over the Jets and Ravens (who were two very physical teams that year). They lost Pouncey, Aaron Smith and Ben broke his foot in the second half of Jets AFCC game. Troy P played with a pulled groin which was injured during the Ravens game. Not making excuses as the Packers won that game but those injuries certainly played a big part and was horrible timing for the Steelers.
@@zachmiller3610 Yeah they had alot of injuries also but I thought it was like 7 or 8 from offense and defense combined? Regardless the Packers defense was one of the worst defenses in the league (26 of 32) that year and the Steelers were in the top 5 and Aaron Smith and Troy P were big reasons why. Troy not being able to run like Troy is a big reason they got carved up by Rodgers and Nelson in particular. He was a step behind nearly the whole game. But that's football.
Not a Packers fan but damn what a team this was. Can't believe it's been 8 years since this playoff run. For me the best #6 seed team to win the Super Bowl
Agree the 2010 Packers never trailed by more than 7 points on the regular season and they were totally a deceptive 6th seed that could beat any team. They were even close of beating the Patriots in Foxbrough without Rodgers and they were 14 and 2 with one of the best Brady years.
@@IanMalcolm-rw5pn i give credit where its due cause 05 Steelers were the first 6th seed to go all the way. 10 Packers were so deceiving in my opinion.
I was at this game. Only Packer fan in my section. Second best day of my life! First came a few weeks later when the GB beat Pittsburgh. My wife is from Pittsburgh.
Defense still wins championships! The Packers started off hot on offense but cooled down considerably. Rodgers struggling, but the defense holds and even scores some points! Great job by the Pack!
Jennings was so good these days. Made ton's of difficult catches away from his frame, would hold onto most balls after taking a mean shot, had a fast release off the LOS, could make tacklers miss, and had the speed to house TD's anywhere on the field. Not fastest guy on the field speed but one of the fastest.
One of the best playoff games purely because of the rivalry. I get there are better games from statistical and emotional standpoints, but nothing beats a rivalry game for a trip to the Super bowl.

For everyone of us in packernation , we look at the schedule and see where the bear games are. They get circled on our calendar and we know that week is " bear week " . no other team we play carries that kind of weight. I enjoyed watching this game live and thanks for showing it again.
same but as a bears fan it's more of dread than excitement. frankly nothing compares to bears packers, i just wish for the sake of BOTH fanbases that we had some decent qb play over the past, i dont know, 100 years? that would be awesome, and make for a competitive series.
We deserved the Loss because we Allowed them to get into the Playoffs a few weeks earlier by sitting most of our starters.. I was Livid I remember when Lovie did that. Never sleep on a Rival in a Big Game.
This game reminded me of Bear games in the 80s where we'd routinely see 2 or 3 bad QBs get the call on a weekly basis, all while the defense kept the team in the game. Sickening.
As a Chicago native and Bears fan, this one hurt. I remember not being able to watch this game because I was doing orientation at my new job for Disney in California. All the Chicago natives like myself working for Disney were so pissed when we got the news that the Bears lost to the Pack. We checked out the highlights immediately after the game in the break room on ESPN and just as we suspected, Cutler played an important part in why we lost...as well as the playcalling. It was hella Bears fan and Chicagoans in Cali, which blew my mind.
I remember this game. This was a physical old school, smash mouth, hard hitting game. I was hurt that the Bears lost but what a game that Heanie had. He almost won the game for the Bears and made a comeback after got Cutler got hurt or whimped out. One of the two happened, in that controversy. But ever since this game never made noise again and was never that good. Probably better they lost this game as they would of probably lost of lost Super Bowl anyway, but we will never know what happened if he made the comeback.
Cutler pussing out was the only thing that gave you a remote chance lol. Cutler was playing the worst game of his life. Hanie was THE reason you had a chance.
It's interesting to note that the year the Packers had their best defense was the year they won their Super Bowl with Rodgers. In 2010, the Packers defense limited opposing passers to a 67.2 rating.

Classic. Absolute classic. I was at my first girlfriend's house with her family, 14 years old when I watched this. She was such a bandwagon fan she rooted for the packers I hated her hahaha. We live in Chicago btw.
Also, they’re the ONLY team in NFL history to win a Super Bowl having started as a wild card. People can say whatever about Rodgers as a human being, but even though he only got the one ring with GB, he’s one of the all time great Packer QB’s, up there with Bart Starr and his mentor, Brett Favre.

I'm still upset at this loss, due largely to the circumstances given and the Bears doing nothing since, only 2 playoff appearances since this game and zero playoff wins
After this game the Bears completely had a downfall. I remember when I was a kid watching this and to this day I’ll never like the Packers. We really could’ve went to the Super Bowl that year.
They were good until 2013. By 2014, the team was not able to compete with their divisional rivals due to trades and acquisitions made for those players who left the team
Jay Cutler didn't get hurt he quit the team was down 14-0 and he quit, people saw him walking down the street the next day fine with his wife so goes to show you his leadership, commitment, and passion for the game was none, Phillip Rivers played with a ACL tear and MCL Sprained in 07 AFC Championship did one of the 3 surgery he needed to fix his knee that's balls, Jay Cutler was never a great QB he was mediocre
This is the game I figured out Cutler was nothing but an average QB with a strong arm. No heart, he wasn't hurt at all, he just wanted to quit. Hurt his knee but doesn't know when? Bullshit. He was a coward.
Dustin 05 . Same here. I used to be a cutler fan starting from his days in denver. I even had his bears jersey. I stuck up for him for years. But what he did at soldier field that day. I lost all respect for him. He had a great arm. But in the end, Jay was hos own worst enemy.
You guys really think Cutler quit...I mean the game was close...the SB was right there for the taking. If he did really quit...he must be kicking himself.
How does everyone not know he was hurt and didn’t quit? He had a mri that showed he sprained his MCL. He could barely walk after the injury. You think a nfl QB can throw on a bad leg?
OMG its been 14 years...I thought I could stomach this finally...but...I can't! It's a HORROR SHOW for any Bears fan! Look away! The terror is too much to bear (pun intended) I remember when Jay quit and the party I was at basically had a riot in house...Da Bears haven't sniffed a Super Bowl since
Jay had a few open TD’s to Hester but missed them. If he steps into his throws and sets his feet, those are easy touchdowns. He gets injured later on in the game , but the game could’ve and should’ve been either tied or bears would’ve had a slight lead. Either way they probably still lose this game but it would’ve been a better position to be in . Cutler footwork was terrible.
Always respected the Lovie Smith Bears team. They were rarely as talented as my Packers but they played smart and hard and wouldn't beat themselves and took advantage of every mistake their opponents made.
The Bears had enough talent to win. Defense was stacked. Offense had Greg Olden TE, Matt Forte RB & Knox, Bennett & Hester at WR. Cutler was an average QB, talented but underperforming. They just for whatever reason never synced on offense and had successive drives.
2:01 - Aaron Rodgers pass to Greg Jennings for 22 yards 2:37 - Aaron Rodgers pass to Greg Jennings for 26 yards 4:51 - Aaron Rodgers pass to Jordy Nelson for 22 yards 6:14 - Aaron Rodgers runs for 1 yard, touchdown 9:43 - Jay Cutler pass to Matt Forte for 24 yards 32:33 - James Starks runs for 4 yards, touchdown 34:49 - Jay Cutler pass to Johnny Knox for 24 yards 42:26 - Aaron Rodgers runs for 25 yards 57:03 - Aaron Rodgers pass intercepted by Lance Briggs 58:35 - Jay Cutler pass intercepted by Sam Shields 1:07:08 - Aaron Rodgers pass to Jordy Nelson for 21 yards 1:07:47 - Aaron Rodgers pass to Greg Jennings for 20 yards 1:12:15 - Aaron Rodgers pass intercepted by Brian Urlacher 1:20:32 - Aaron Rodgers pass to Greg Jennings for 22 yards 1:37:02 - Caleb Hanie pass to Johnny Knox for 32 yards 1:37:49 - Chester Taylor runs for 1 yard, touchdown 1:54:44 - Caleb Hanie pass intercepted by B.J. Raji, returned for touchdown 1:59:09 - Caleb Hanie pass to Earl Bennett for 35 yards, touchdown 2:14:22 - Caleb Hanie pass intercepted by Sam Shields 2:15:31 - Final kneeldown and celebration
How odd that the only time they won it all with Aaron Rodgers was when they were the last possible seed in the playoffs. They really should have made it in the 2014 and 2020 season
As a Bears fan, to this day I say Jay Cutler quit this NFC title Game, your the leader of the team at QB,if you go out there and break your leg, win or lose for a chance to play in the Super Bowl, SO BE IT! But to check out mid-game just showed how much of a leader he really was. You play to win.
One of the greatest NFC Championship Games. The Bears and the Packers were world-class, and this one went to the Pack. I do feel for the Bears; there are no moral victories. But this game is very entertaining to watch. Hats off to Joe Buck, Troy Aikman, and Pam Oliver.
Was at home, sick as a dog, in this day. The Bears' are my backup team, but I cannot stand Jay Cutler, so it was tough to feel one way or the other about this game. Glad I missed most of it, as I was asleep most of the day!!
To think the Bears could have avoided this fate. They had a chance to eliminate the Packers by winning their Week 17 matchup, but the Bears didn't play hard and let Green Bay into the tournament. And they've regretted it ever since.
... And to think the Packers were THIS close to losing to a 2nd string rookie QB. Credit though to Aaron Rodgers and his breakout playoff run of 2010 which really made a name for himself.
I feel that the play of this game was when Rodgers made that tackle on Urlacher following the INT. Reminds me a lot of Big Ben's tackle on Nick Harper from the 2005 divisional game between the Steelers and the Colts.
The only reason it was this close is because Rodgers had a horrible game. Sure, he had a rushing TD but he also threw 2 picks and completed less than 60% of his passes.
@KyoKonKyoChin didn't the bears make the super bowl with Rex Grossman in 06. They apparently don't need a good QB. You can't blame the game on one player. (Cutler)
Bears stamped their one-way ticket to Football Hell after this...between the Bears of the 80s and early 2000s both eras could've produced a few championships but it never came together except for once in 85.
This low key turned out to be a good game. I thought Caleb Hanie was finally going to break our history of bad quarterbacks, but when he got a chance a year later , he really stunk it up . He was good for this game , I give him a lot of credit placed in a bad situation gave the bears a chance to win.
Looking back on this game is interesting. Notice the Packers offense starts off hot, scores their second touchdown with 11:13 remaining in the second quarter, and then completely stall out the rest of the game and score zero points. At the time we didn't think much of it...but after ten years of watching GB choke in the playoffs it is interesting to see how this narrative would repeat itself. Good thing we were up against Cutler and 3rd String QB. Todd Collins played like his full time job was a financial advisor who was actually scheduled to bring snacks for this game.
Cutler’s problem was that he had too big of arm and didn’t know when to put more touch on the ball for better accuracy. And he turned it over a lot because of this I believe. He had a cannon for an arm.
I wouldn’t necessarily agree. The bears made it fairly competitive in the 2010s. I would say from like 2016 onwards except for 2018 when they had that one good year
The 2010 NFC Championship game between the Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Bears I think it's one of the greatest and it's a championship games for a divisional rivalry I wish you would have been the Bears winning it.
To this day, I was shocked at how the Chicago Bears made the NFC Championship game that year. That offense was awful and that's putting it nicely. They had no offensive weapons besides Olsen and Forte. Cutler is a joke for a QB. Only thing they had going for them was a good defense.
The Bears defense was very impressive when Urlacher was leading the team. You know you're a good defense when you get to the championship game with the likes of Jay Cutler (2010) and Rex Grossman (2006).
I thought the giants would meet the packers in the nfc champ game that year, as they were the best teams in the nfc. But we all know what happened to the giants
The fact that Cutler couldn't beat the packers says it all ! But this game showed his true colors ! Rex Grossman woulda found a way to stay on that field and lead his team to victory ! This game proved that cutty was nothin more than hype !! Jeff George 2.0 Indeed !!
This is the darkest day in Bears franchise history, considering the opponent, the stage, and everything that followed for the team
bordaz1 agreed, this hurt more than the 2006 SB loss🐻⬇️
And that’s saying a lot, they’ve had a lot of dark days
And to think all the Bears had to do is beat the Pack in the season finale. Packers are the most historical team in the NFL

These Packers were the last team to win three straight road playoff games to reach the Super Bowl until the 2020 Buccaneers.
Also, they’re the ONLY team in NFL history to win a Super Bowl having started as a wild card. People can say whatever about Rodgers as a human being, but even though he only got the one ring with GB, he’s one of the all time great Packer QB’s, up there with Bart Starr and his mentor, Brett Favre.
@@a.grimes420207 New York giants were wildcard the whole time
@@a.grimes4202what do you mean? 05 Steelers and 07 giants were wildcard teams. Hell the Steelers in 05 were the first 6 seed to win it all the packers are the first out of the NFC
@@esdeathisbae9480 Sorry, bro, the NFL record book doesn’t support your assertions. I’m right and you’re wrong so cope harder.
To wit:
_The Packers became the only team since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger to win the Super Bowl without playing a home playoff game, and the only team to win a Super Bowl as a #6 seed._
@@a.grimes4202 first of all I'm not coping about anything. I don't give a shit about the packers I'm just saying they aren't the only team to win as the 6 seed the Steelers did it first don't believe me? Look it up
Happy Anniversary. Great day even though I was stabbed 5 times that morning. Saw second half after surgery. Good day for the most part.
I'm still upset at this loss, due largely to the circumstances given and the Bears doing nothing since, only 2 playoff appearances since this game and zero playoff wins
Especially when the Lions recently won two playoff games which now makes the Bears have the longest playoff drought win in the NFC North.
@@Rickman897 yep, 14 years and counting
@@BaseballRoscoe25 What would be cool is if the Bears & Lions face each other in the NFC Championship Game.
After this game the Bears completely had a downfall. I remember when I was a kid watching this and to this day I’ll never like the Packers. We really could’ve went to the Super Bowl that year.
They were good until 2013. By 2014, the team was not able to compete with their divisional rivals due to trades and acquisitions made for those players who left the team
They were good in 2011 and 2012. Cutty got injured in 2011 too.
Jay Cutler didn't get hurt he quit the team was down 14-0 and he quit, people saw him walking down the street the next day fine with his wife so goes to show you his leadership, commitment, and passion for the game was none, Phillip Rivers played with a ACL tear and MCL Sprained in 07 AFC Championship did one of the 3 surgery he needed to fix his knee that's balls, Jay Cutler was never a great QB he was mediocre
He had good skills but the attitude was horrible. Denver got rid of him for a reason.
That onside and first drive might be one the most impressive things I’ve seen the pack do in my life
This is the game I figured out Cutler was nothing but an average QB with a strong arm. No heart, he wasn't hurt at all, he just wanted to quit. Hurt his knee but doesn't know when? Bullshit. He was a coward.
Dustin 05 . Same here. I used to be a cutler fan starting from his days in denver. I even had his bears jersey. I stuck up for him for years. But what he did at soldier field that day. I lost all respect for him. He had a great arm. But in the end, Jay was hos own worst enemy.
True
You guys really think Cutler quit...I mean the game was close...the SB was right there for the taking. If he did really quit...he must be kicking himself.
When Rogers beat us in the first game of this year I remembered this game and Cutler quit while he didn't
How does everyone not know he was hurt and didn’t quit? He had a mri that showed he sprained his MCL. He could barely walk after the injury. You think a nfl QB can throw on a bad leg?
OMG its been 14 years...I thought I could stomach this finally...but...I can't! It's a HORROR SHOW for any Bears fan! Look away! The terror is too much to bear (pun intended) I remember when Jay quit and the party I was at basically had a riot in house...Da Bears haven't sniffed a Super Bowl since
Jay had a few open TD’s to Hester but missed them. If he steps into his throws and sets his feet, those are easy touchdowns. He gets injured later on in the game , but the game could’ve and should’ve been either tied or bears would’ve had a slight lead. Either way they probably still lose this game but it would’ve been a better position to be in . Cutler footwork was terrible.
Jay sucked, bottom line.
Raji scared the crap outta me holding out the ball like that. Half a yard earlier and it would have been a fumble.
Exhibit A: Why Jay Cutler wasn't worth the overpay he got as a pro. Can you say overrated???
Always respected the Lovie Smith Bears team. They were rarely as talented as my Packers but they played smart and hard and wouldn't beat themselves and took advantage of every mistake their opponents made.
The Bears had enough talent to win. Defense was stacked. Offense had Greg Olden TE, Matt Forte RB & Knox, Bennett & Hester at WR. Cutler was an average QB, talented but underperforming. They just for whatever reason never synced on offense and had successive drives.
@@LeonardStauffer Didn’t help that the o line sucked as well
I miss 2010 and 2011. The good old days are over now...
there is more to life than football kid

When you score more points without your starting QB.
"And green bay is going to ride to the superbowl in that!!"
This run was epic!!! Shame Packers didnt win more Super Bowls.....so many chances and so much talent.
How odd that the only time they won it all with Aaron Rodgers was when they were the last possible seed in the playoffs. They really should have made it in the 2014 and 2020 season
As a Bears fan, to this day I say Jay Cutler quit this NFC title Game, your the leader of the team at QB,if you go out there and break your leg, win or lose for a chance to play in the Super Bowl, SO BE IT! But to check out mid-game just showed how much of a leader he really was.
You play to win.
Leader? I'm sure you meant LEAKER. Duh Bares just suck.
h. lloyd sounds like a giants fan
@@nikoburton9791 As always, you're wrong. My team picked off Cutler at least 23 times in 13 games. They just suck.
h. lloyd mad you didn’t make the playoffs cheesehead, We Own The NFC North now and Cutler ain’t running the show
h. lloyd can’t even spell bears right asshole
When isolated due to COVID, watch old Packer games. 😆
One of the greatest NFC Championship Games. The Bears and the Packers were world-class, and this one went to the Pack. I do feel for the Bears; there are no moral victories. But this game is very entertaining to watch. Hats off to Joe Buck, Troy Aikman, and Pam Oliver.
11 years later: "I still f'n own you."
1:23:24 Actually one of my favorite plays of all time. Just when you thought it was over Urlacher saves the day
Letting your most bitter rival win a trophy in your own stadium must have been TERRIBLE for Bears fans 💀
This still warms my heart. Jay Cutler. The most effective QB the Packers never had to pay a salary to. 😂
I will never forget how disappointed my father and I were this night…
When the Bears called that second timeout, they sealed their fate. Packers knew the run was coming.
It’s unfortunate that this is the only conference championship game Aaron Rodgers has ever won.
Incorrect. The only NFC game he’s won. I think he’s 1-4 in the conference game.

Back then it seemed like Joe Buck got more excited on interceptions than on Touchdowns but to this day he gets excited for both.
????
crazy that peppers wasn't ejected for that hit on AR12
This is definitely one of the all time great packer teams, 2010 had a hell of a roster.
when Urlacher is on the field then you know that shit just got real
yeah.... sure
Came here after Cutler got arrested for DUI and possession of handgun while under the influence. Packers really exterminated this man
Was at home, sick as a dog, in this day. The Bears' are my backup team, but I cannot stand Jay Cutler, so it was tough to feel one way or the other about this game. Glad I missed most of it, as I was asleep most of the day!!
What an amazing story.
To think the Bears could have avoided this fate. They had a chance to eliminate the Packers by winning their Week 17 matchup, but the Bears didn't play hard and let Green Bay into the tournament. And they've regretted it ever since.
... And to think the Packers were THIS close to losing to a 2nd string rookie QB. Credit though to Aaron Rodgers and his breakout playoff run of 2010 which really made a name for himself.
I feel that the play of this game was when Rodgers made that tackle on Urlacher following the INT. Reminds me a lot of Big Ben's tackle on Nick Harper from the 2005 divisional game between the Steelers and the Colts.
Very true, if Urlacher takes that back to the house, it is a much different outcome.
The only reason it was this close is because Rodgers had a horrible game. Sure, he had a rushing TD but he also threw 2 picks and completed less than 60% of his passes.
i mean Rodgers was basically a rookie too.
@KyoKonKyoChin didn't the bears make the super bowl with Rex Grossman in 06. They apparently don't need a good QB. You can't blame the game on one player. (Cutler)
Bears stamped their one-way ticket to Football Hell after this...between the Bears of the 80s and early 2000s both eras could've produced a few championships but it never came together except for once in 85.
This low key turned out to be a good game. I thought Caleb Hanie was finally going to break our history of bad quarterbacks, but when he got a chance a year later , he really stunk it up . He was good for this game , I give him a lot of credit placed in a bad situation gave the bears a chance to win.
Looking back on this game is interesting. Notice the Packers offense starts off hot, scores their second touchdown with 11:13 remaining in the second quarter, and then completely stall out the rest of the game and score zero points. At the time we didn't think much of it...but after ten years of watching GB choke in the playoffs it is interesting to see how this narrative would repeat itself. Good thing we were up against Cutler and 3rd String QB. Todd Collins played like his full time job was a financial advisor who was actually scheduled to bring snacks for this game.
Some of it wasn't choking. Just bad luck or BS
Cutler’s problem was that he had too big of arm and didn’t know when to put more touch on the ball for better accuracy. And he turned it over a lot because of this I believe. He had a cannon for an arm.
Cutler wasn't afraid of giving receiver chances either. That's a big part of the turn overs too. He was willing to put faith in his receivers.
He had Tony Romo syndrome. Throwing into coverage constantly.
@@pretorious700 But at least the Cutler bears were competitive.
Big arm without precision=out of the league
As a season ticket 🎟️ holder for our packers ..I have much respect for Cutler...being a diabetic.
It's hard enough to play in the NFL the way it's is.
Last year my Bears was even respectable, its 2018 & we're trying to get our team to respectability again
Well you guys got it back because your leading the nfc north (I'm a packers fan)
we did it mane
juice9100 Super Bowl here we come. Rings will start piling up.
@@jarjarbinks4744 how are the rings Numbnuts??
Try being a lions fan
I was just happy this Packers squad beat the Steelers 8n the Super Bowl. Couldn't ask for a better story
From this point forward, the Packers owned the Bears and continue to do so.
I wouldn’t necessarily agree. The bears made it fairly competitive in the 2010s. I would say from like 2016 onwards except for 2018 when they had that one good year
Excellent to step on the Bears before the Super Bowl victory
"Aaron Rodgers,who is still hot"
-Joe Buck
He feels the same way about Bryce Harper.
This actually hurts me bro i was 10 watching this game at PF changs and I cried in the resaurant no cap
no cap???
Can’t fucking believe this the only championship game Rodgers won this is bullshit he needs to win another Super Bowl 1-4 is ridiculous
Maybe as a jet
These teams matched up well. Packers were younger, faster, and were on fire
Forte was a beast.
This is the greatest game in NFL HISTORY
Just think, if Lovie Smith doesn't call a timeout, the Bear probably pick up that first down! Oh poor Bears fans
Love this game!!
why is todd collins even on your roster
all I remember about Erlacher is the story of when he challenged Bas Ruten to a fight. Bas told the story around 2006.
They should put haine in earlier
Green Bay has had superb QBs. Bart Star, Brett Favre, Aaron Rodgers and Jay Cutler.
The Jay Cutler mystery "injury"...
No mystery he was hurt. Too bad he was only one on this team worth a damn
you are a loser
Jay Cutler is still better than half of the QBs in the league in 2018.
The 2010 NFC Championship game between the Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Bears I think it's one of the greatest and it's a championship games for a divisional rivalry I wish you would have been the Bears winning it.
Geez Cutler was a bum.
good match. you don't see rivals in the NFC championship every year
To this day, I was shocked at how the Chicago Bears made the NFC Championship game that year. That offense was awful and that's putting it nicely. They had no offensive weapons besides Olsen and Forte. Cutler is a joke for a QB. Only thing they had going for them was a good defense.
The Bears defense was very impressive when Urlacher was leading the team. You know you're a good defense when you get to the championship game with the likes of Jay Cutler (2010) and Rex Grossman (2006).
I thought the giants would meet the packers in the nfc champ game that year, as they were the best teams in the nfc. But we all know what happened to the giants
The fact that Cutler couldn't beat the packers says it all ! But this game showed his true colors ! Rex Grossman woulda found a way to stay on that field and lead his team to victory ! This game proved that cutty was nothin more than hype !! Jeff George 2.0 Indeed !!
AARON RODGERS IS A TRUE GENERAL ON THE FIELD..G.O.A.T TO ME
