Everyone can't stop talking about the Caleb Williams touchdown throw to DJ Moore in overtime to help the Chicago Bears beat the Green Bay Packers 22-16 in Week 16.
Bears fans shouldn't forget about the play that got them in that position to be in overtime to keep their NFC North title hopes alive. With 32 seconds left in the fourth quarter and down 16-9, Williams and the Bears' offense faced a fourth-and-four at the Packers' six-yard line when he threw a pass to undrafted rookie Jahdae Walker in the back of the end zone for a touchdown to tie the game with 24 seconds left.
After the game, Bears head coach Ben Johnson showed a ton of faith in his rookie receiver, who only had eight offensive snaps all season before the Packers game, and said that since the Packers ran Cover 0, Walker was the primary target.
“It was one of those plays where depending on the coverage, it would change who the primary was," Johnson said via CHGO.
Walker already showed how clutch he is before the season
Bears fans might remember Walker for his heroics in the preseason as he won them two games. He caught what would be the game-winning score against the Miami Dolphins midway through the fourth quarter. Walker also caught a game-winning touchdown against the Kansas City Chiefs in the preseason finale with under 30 seconds left in the game.
In his first full action on the field with the offense, Walker caught two of his three targets for 21 yards and the touchdown. He ended up being fifth on the team in receiving yards in the game, but made arguably the most critical play of the game.
What made the Walker catch so good and clutch was that Williams didn't throw a perfect pass, as it was a bit overthrown. Walker made a great catch and then had to concentrate on his feet to make sure both feet got inbounds.

Bears fans were almost traumatized by a second fourth-down failure in three weeks, but this time it worked out for the team. The play call from Johnson was as gutsy as they come, but thanks to Walker's catch, it ended up being the right call at the end of the day, and now the Bears are one step closer to a division title.
