Over 24 hours after watching the Chicago Bears survive a thrilling 47-42 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, fans are still rewatching the final offensive play of the game for the team from the Windy City.
Down 42-41 with under 30 seconds left, Bears quarterback Caleb Williams made a great throw down the seam to rookie first-round pick tight end Colston Loveland as he was able to break away from two Bengals defenders and race down the field 58 yards for a touchdown for the game winner with 17 seconds left. That play helped the Bears move to 5-3 on the season, matching their win total from 2024.
Williams finished with four total touchdowns in the game, and Loveland had a career-high 118 yards and two scores for the Bears. While that touchdown was electric to watch live, alternative angles have since been shown that make the play even more impressive.

The X account, @TheBearTalkShow, shared a different angle in row five from the 20-yard line of the end zone that Loveland scored on. It shows the horrible angle two Bengals defenders took, and Bengals safety Geno Stone overpursuing and missing a chance to tackle Loveland.

It shows that Cincinnati had two defenders who could have made the tackle, and they didn't get it done. Instead, it was Loveland using his sheer strength to have two defenders whiff on tackles, and the rookie showing his speed to outrun everyone.
