Chicago Bears DB Chauncey Gardner-Johnson tweets mid-game during comeback attempt

Chicago Bears defensive back Chauncey Gardner-Johnson is following along with his team’s playoff game against the Green Bay Packers like many fans. On Twitter.

On social media, many had written the Bears off pretty early after they fell into a 21-3 hole. Very little was going right, and quarterback Caleb Williams seemed off his game.

But then things started to shift in the second half. The Bears came up with several stops defensively, affording the offense a chance to get back into the game. And after Chicago cut the Green Bay lead to 21-16, Chauncey Gardner-Johnson chimed in. On Twitter. It’s worth noting he’s inactive for the contest after suffering a concussion. Still, it’s unusual to see players tweet during their own games.

“Don’t tweet too soon my guy,” he wrote. His tweet was not quoting anyone in particular.

Unfortunately for Chicago, the Green Bay offense started to find its rhythm again after Chauncey Gardner-Johnson’s tweet. The Packers marched down the field and scored a touchdown, extending the lead back out to two scores. The extra point missed wide left, though, leaving it 27-16 Green Bay with 6:30 remaining in the contest.
