Bears nearly pull off miracle on final play of Week 15's game vs. Packers

Share

Trailing by eight points and with one second left to play in regulation, the Bears nearly had some divine intervention on a pass from quarterback Mitch Trubisky to running back Tarik Cohen that, after several laterals, cutbacks and zig-zags, fell just one yard short of paydirt.

Cohen, who caught the ball at the Packers' 30-yard-line, lateralled back to Trubisky at the 20-yard-line, who then churned upfield before pitching to tight end Jesper Horsted at the 15. Horsted was dragged to the ground around the seven-yard-line during his attempt to toss the ball to Allen Robinson.

Had Horsted gotten rid of the ball a tick sooner, the Bears may have scored. They would've needed a two-point conversion to tie the game, but if Chicago's season is truly over after Week 15, it was a crazy and whacky way to conclude what's been a disappointing roller coaster of a year.
