In what was otherwise a fairly uneventful, workman-like 31-3 victory for the Chicago Bears over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, quarterback Caleb Williams created a highlight play that will be etched in the memories of fans for a long time.

There are off-platform throws the likes of which Williams has regularly authored going back to his time in college, to the excitement and occasional current frustration of Bears' fans, then there's this.

DJ Moore's incredible catch in the midst of multiple Browns' defenders was equally as brilliant as Williams' throw. As we see more and more angles of the play in the time since it happened, its luster is only further fortified.

When asked after Sunday's game if he thought the throw to Moore into double coverage was ill-advised, Williams shut down any further inquiry by calmly saying, "I can make any throw."

During his appearance on 670 The Score's "Spiegel and Holmes," Pro Football Hall of Famer and current broadcaster Kurt Warner was asked about the incredible Williams-to-Moore touchdown.

"Is that an ill-advised decision, or not, by Caleb, up 14-3 at that point?", co-host Matt Spiegel asked Warner.

Warner wrote his Hall of Fame resume by being an incredibly prolific pocket passer. A throw like the one Williams made to Moore for their second scoring connection of the game against the Browns wasn't in his skill set, so it's not surprising he conveyed some appreciation for it being within the realm of possible for Williams.

"If it was me throwing it, it would've been fully ill-advised", Warner said. "I would've hear about that for an entire week...When you've got a certain skill set, and you believe you can make certain throws...is it ill-advised or not?...He's made a lot of throws doing some things that for a lot of us would be ill-advised. Because we're not capable of them."

"Obviously he was capable of it, he threw a touchdown pass on it", Warner said.

Upon watching the play on film, Warner admitted he didn't really see what Williams saw. But he acknowledged how the Bears' signal caller "sees it through a different lens" than a lot of other quarterbacks do.

Warner went on to say a throw like that one from Williams is (obviously) not something he'd advise a quarterback to do very often. Then he summed it up as succinctly as anyone has.

"What a play."

What a play indeed. Even if Bears' fans, and most NFL fans at large, would use more dramatic words to describe it.
