With no fans in the stands due to COVID-19, the Bears had to generate their own momentum on the field and sideline.

"You've got to create your own energy for your team and for your offense, and I think our playmakers did that in the second half," Trubisky said. "We just gave them opportunities, and they went up and made the plays, and we stuck together. I'm really proud of the team; the way we battled, the way we came back. I think it says a lot about our character and how we just never gave up on each other."

Even when the Bears were trailing by 17 points, no one on their sideline was ready to tap out.

"Guys had positive energy," said Wims, whose 1-yard touchdown reception from Trubisky closed the gap to 23-20 with 2:58 remaining. "Nobody was down. Nobody was like, 'Oh, we lost this game.' Football is about momentum swings and we felt like we took their best shot and now we were going to give our best shot. Everybody was just ready to make the play to get the ball rolling."

After completing 12 of 26 passes for 153 yards and a 65.1 passer rating through the first three quarters, Trubisky connected on 8 of 10 passes for 89 yards with three touchdowns and a 143.3 rating in the fourth period.

"We just had a mentality on the sidelines," Trubisky said. "We got together as an offense and we knew we weren't out of it once we were down by 17. We just wanted one play at a time. [We were thinking], 'We don't have to do anything crazy. We're still in it. Let's stick to what we do. Let's find completions. Let's go out there, play our game. Let's take it one play at a time.'

"I think when we started to get in a rhythm, you start to not think and play fast. I think that's when things started to roll for us in the second half."

Bears players weren't surprised with the resiliency the club showed during Sunday's stirring fourth-quarter comeback.

"That's the type of team we've got," Wims said. "We're not going to lay down. We're all fighters. We all believe in one another and we trust our brother to make a play, so that energy on the sideline was electric."
