Caleb Williams: Bears had been working on fake screen TD pass for 3-4 weeks

Our Summary

In a dramatic finish against the Green Bay Packers, the Chicago Bears secured a victory with a late-game touchdown pass from quarterback Caleb Williams to receiver DJ Moore. With 1:48 remaining, the Bears executed a fake screen play from the Packers' 25-yard line, a strategy designed by Coach Ben Johnson. The play involved three receivers lined up to the left, with Williams initially pumping a pass toward Luther Burden III, before targeting Moore, who had slipped past a defensive back. This touchdown proved to be the game-winner in what is being hailed as one of the most compelling postseason games in Bears history. Williams expressed confidence in the play prior to the snap, noting the defense's demeanor as an indicator of its success. The Bears' defense held firm in the final moments, preventing the Packers from scoring and securing the win.
