The Chicago Bears advanced in the NFL playoffs after a dramatic 31-27 victory over the Green Bay Packers, leaving the Packers to reflect on an unexpected early exit. The Bears’ win, which came in the NFC Wild Card Round at Soldier Field in Chicago, marked a stunning comeback after the Packers had a significant lead in the fourth quarter.
Former Packers wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown, who now co-hosts the St. Brown Podcast with his brother, Amon-Ra St. Brown of the Detroit Lions, expressed his disappointment regarding the outcome. During a recent episode, he stated, “The Bears didn’t win that s**t, the Packers lost it.” This comment, aimed at explaining the dynamics of the game, has generated considerable backlash from Bears fans.
Fan Reactions to St. Brown’s Comments
St. Brown’s remarks did not resonate well with Chicago supporters. Many took to social media platforms to voice their frustration. One fan on X commented, “Like he did during his Bears career, ESB dropped the ball here. Bears took that win, nothing was given away.” Others mocked St. Brown’s comments with responses like “How’s Cancun?” and “Ain’t no way you saying this, SMH.”
The overall sentiment from Bears fans suggested they felt the victory was hard-earned and not a result of the Packers’ mistakes. Another commenter noted, “We’re in the house, or at least on the porch and you’re hatin from the sidewalk,” while another humorously questioned, “We filming this from Panama or Cancun fellas?”
St. Brown’s Career Background
Equanimeous St. Brown had a notable career with the Packers after being drafted in the sixth round of the 2018 NFL Draft. Over three seasons in Green Bay, he accumulated 543 receiving yards and one touchdown on 37 receptions. Despite his ties to the Packers, he also played for the Bears, which adds an intriguing layer to his comments.
As the NFL playoffs continue, the Bears will look to build on their momentum, while the Packers face an offseason filled with questions and adjustments. St. Brown’s remarks may reflect the frustration of many Packers fans, but they also highlight the fierce rivalries that make the NFL playoffs so captivating. As the postseason unfolds, the focus will remain on how teams capitalize on their opportunities and learn from their defeats.
