For the first time since 2020, the Chicago Bears clinched a playoff berth and won their Wild Card matchup against division rivals, the Green Bay Packers.

During that game, tight end Colston Loveland secured eight receptions for 137 yards, the most he had all season.

“Yeah, man, all glory to God,” Loveland declared after the game, reflecting on his team’s massive comeback over the Packers. “First off, been praying on this and to see it, you know, come to fruition is very, very cool, but super proud of my teammates, coaching staff, owners, everyone top down for believing and staying resilient.”

Sports Illustrated reported that the Packers lost their 21-3 halftime lead on Saturday, and the Bears ultimately took the win, 31-27. CBS Sports said the comeback marked the largest in Bears’ playoff history.

“The halftime speech was, ‘Come on, man.’ Ben actually showed us Atlanta, New England, the first day of camp, the comeback. And he said, ‘Hey, we can do this.’ Then we came out here and did it, man, it’s just all glory to God. So proud of everyone, what they did, never lost belief,” the athlete continued.

Loveland was a first-round pick for the Bears at No. 10 overall. He not only wants to produce results on the field, but he also advises his teammates and all the fans watching to “trust in God.”

“There’s a lot of hate in this world,” the Idaho native told the Chicago Sun Times. “I think the main thing is — and I know everyone’s got their own thing with faith — but if you just trust in God, read the Good Book and just be a good person, try to influence others in positive ways, that’s the best thing you can do. Just try to uplift others. That’s how I was raised, how I was taught growing up. That’s some wisdom I would give. Be nice all the time. Be a guy you’d want to be around.”

His advice for young people?

“Stay in the moment. Keep doing you. Whatever you love, just keep doing that. Uplift others around you. Be a good person, and you’ll go really far in life,” he said. “As far as athletics go, whatever sport you’re into, if that’s something you really want to take seriously, if you want to get to that next level, you’ve got to do more than everyone. What you’re doing right now isn’t enough. Put your head down and go to work, because all of you can do that.”

It’s incredible to see Loveland praise God for his rookie season success.
