What's a superstition you follow for every Bears game, and does it work? Here's what you told us

As the Bears prepared for the second round of the playoffs, we asked fans about the superstitions and game-day rituals they rely on to ensure a win. Here’s what you told us, lightly edited for clarity:

“I wear my orange Bears underwear, I wear the same shirt that has holes in it that I've worn all season, and I wear my orange Nike shoes with a little Bears logo on them.”
— Brett Murphy

“Thirty minutes before every game, we have what we call a Robot Water — that's a vodka Red Bull.”
— Tim Ohlrich

"My mother ... has a list of family members and friends that she calls individually after every touchdown. Both people yell into the phone, then hang up. She has been doing this for years and for every game, regardless of the score or team's record. The list has gotten longer and the shouts have gotten louder with each win."
— Connor O'Donnell

“I pray to the football gods.”
— Alexis Allen

“I do feel like I am somewhat accountable if the Bears lose. … If I wear a jersey and they lose a game while I'm wearing it, I can't wear it again during a game because it's become bad luck.”
— Ryan Reetz

“I actually got two jerseys — one I wear on the day before, and I wear that all day, and then the next day I wear my [Caleb] Williams jersey, which I haven't washed since the season started.”
— Ramon Ma

"All of my wife’s family sit on the exact same spot they were sitting after a Bears win. My wife’s brother-in-law and I also kneel and say a prayer before the game starts."
— Alfredo Arroyo

“I always have to eat an omelet and an acai bowl.”

— Orlando Thomas

“I chug a case of Miller Lite — the official beer of the Bears — before playoff games. Before the regular season games probably like a 12-pack.”
— Josh Lichtenwalter

“We go to the same tailgate, and because we're season ticket holders, [once inside of Soldier Field we] have to sit in the same order.”
— Jimmy Pajauska
