The Chicago Bears defeated the Green Bay Packers in a playoff game for the first time since Franklin D. Roosevelt was president.

Chicago overcame a late 18-point deficit to stun their rival in the Wild Card playoff game at Soldier Field on Saturday. It marked the Bears' first postseason victory in the NFL's oldest rivalry since December 1941, just days after the infamous Pearl Harbor attack. 

For most of the night, it looked like Chicago would extend the drought, falling behind 21-3 at halftime.

Even after clawing back, the Bears were facing a 27-16 deficit with less than seven minutes to go in the fourth quarter.

But Bears quarterback Caleb Williams led back-to-back touchdown drives, with a missed Green Bay field goal in between those drives to give Chicago a late lead. 

The Packers and quarterback Jordan Love had a chance to come back with a late drive in the fourth quarter, and nearly reached the brink of Chicago's red zone. 

But the Bears' defense held, and forced an incompletion on Love's final pass of the night, clinching a 31-27 win.

It marked Chicago's first playoff win since the 2010 divisional round against the Seahawks, which was followed by an NFC Championship game loss to the Packers the very next week. 

Now, Chicago is on to the divisional round again in the first year under head coach Ben Johnson.

Johnson has led one of the NFL's most dramatic turnarounds this year, ending the Bears' four-year streak of losing records and cementing them as one of the NFC's top contenders. 

Meanwhile, the Packers will head into the offseason with disappointment and uncertainty after falling short of expectations in a season of pricey acquisitions.

The organization that oversees the Nobel Peace Prize rejected recent suggestions that Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado could give or share her award with President Donald Trump.

The Norwegian Nobel Institute shut down the idea Friday, after Machado suggested that she might transfer the prestigious award to Trump earlier this week.

"Once a Nobel Prize is announced, it cannot be revoked, shared, or transferred to others," the institute said in a statement. "The decision is final and stands for all time."

The statement comes after Machado floated the idea during an appearance Tuesday on Fox News' "Hannity."

"Did you at any point offer to give him the Nobel Peace Prize?" Sean Hannity asked. "Did that actually happen?"

Machado responded, "Well, it hasn’t happened yet."

"I certainly would love to be able to personally tell him that we believe — the Venezuelan people, because this is a prize of the Venezuelan people — certainly want to give it to him and share it with him," Machado continued. "What he has done is historic. It’s a huge step towards a democratic transition."

On Jan. 3, Trump announced that the U.S. had successfully completed an operation to capture authoritarian Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, who is now facing drug trafficking charges in New York.

Trump was asked during an appearance Thursday on "Hannity" whether he would accept the Nobel Prize from Machado.

"I've heard that she wants to do that," Trump responded. "That would be a great honor."

Machado secretly escaped Venezuela last month and traveled to Norway to receive the Nobel Peace Prize, which she dedicated to Trump.

"Let me be very clear. As soon as I learned that we had been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, I dedicated it to President Trump because I believed at that point that he deserved it," Machado said on "Hannity." "And a lot of people, most people, said it was impossible to achieve what he has just done on Saturday, January 3rd."

Trump said he plans to meet with the Venezuelan opposition leader in Washington next week.

He has previously stated that Machado "doesn't have the support within or the respect within the country" to lead. Trump has supported acting President Delcy Rodríguez, a longtime Maduro loyalist, who previously served as vice president under Maduro.
