Aaron Rodgers always felt confident the Green Bay Packers would rally to triumph in a "special rivalry" with the Chicago Bears and revelled in helping the franchise make NFL history.
Trailing 19-10 through three quarters, the Packers outscored the Bears 18-0 in the fourth to run out 28-19 winners and rack up an eighth straight victory in matches between the two teams.
Back in October 2021, Rodgers went viral for yelling "I own you" at Bears fans during a typically volatile 24-14 win.
Sunday was by vintage Rodgers, who has been contending with a broken thumb since October and injured his ribs against the Philadelphia Eagles last week, but he completed 18 of 31 passes for 182 yards and a touchdown en route to improving to 25-5 against the Bears.
Asked whether this continued his "ownership" of the Bears, Rodgers replied: "Yes.
"We've got a special rivalry that I've been able to be a part of and there was probably a lot of people that felt good at 19-10, so did I.
"A win against the Bears is always a little more special, there was other things involved, the all-time win total was cool, another fourth-quarter comeback.
"I told the guys in the locker room we've played good enough at times to beat anyone in the league, and at times played poor enough to lose to just about anybody."
With the win, the Packers moved outright top on the list of all-time NFL victories at 787, one clear of the Bears in second.
It is a statistic Rodgers takes great pride in.
"It means a lot, part of the legacy is you always want to leave the place you're at better than you found it," he said.
"Right now, we flipped the all-time series [versus the Bears], all-time wins, we've had a lot of success against them.
"In a few years you'll look back and feel pretty good about your contributions to the rivalry."
