The Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs featured several dramatic overtime games, plenty of exciting plays, and, for two teams, some disappointing results.
On Saturday, the Buffalo Bills lost in overtime to the Denver Broncos amid controversy, creating heartbreak for quarterback Josh Allen and his teammates over how close they came to a win.
The Los Angeles Rams and Chicago Bears capped off the weekend's action with another overtime thriller at Soldier Field. Despite an unbelievable fourth-quarter touchdown pass from Caleb Williams to send the game to overtime, the Bears lost on a field goal following a Williams interception.

It was a tough end to the season for the Bears and their fans, following a magical season that defied expectations, and Green Bay Packers star Micah Parsons didn't hesitate to send a jab towards his rival opponents.

Taking to X, Parsons sent a four-word message to the Bears, writing "We all here now" and including upset and crying laughing emojis to punctuate his joke.
Those words arrived with an original image showing Williams from behind in his Bears gear, playing volleyball on a beach.
A sign reading "Cancun," sun rays shining down, and beautiful water added to the scene, suggesting it was time for everyone to enjoy their vacations, including the Bears.
Parsons' joke to the Bears comes several weeks after Chicago achieved a seemingly improbable victory against Green Bay in the Wild Card round. That included an amazing fourth-down pass to keep a scoring drive alive, which many believe is among Williams' most impressive passes of his career.
He may have topped it on Sunday night, though, as social media was buzzing over his incredible throw and completion to Cole Kmet, to tie the game at 17-17 and go to overtime.
Williams didn't mention plans for Cancun in his postgame remarks. However, he indicated he plans to address some aspects of his game to improve before returning next season, which is a scary prospect since he'll be in only his third season as a pro.
Meanwhile, Parsons suffered a disappointing end to his season after being traded from the Dallas Cowboys to the Green Bay Packers. He suffered a torn ACL in mid-December, putting him on the sidelines for a postseason that some believed the Packers might have enough to reach the Super Bowl.
Next season should undoubtedly be interesting and entertaining as these rivals battle it out in the NFC North.
