Anatomy of a Play: Hicks Denies the Dolphins

Related Topics: play, Willy Wonka, Matt Nagy, Mack

Bears fans, I’m back with the second episode in Anatomy of a Play! As a reminder, this series is aimed at combing through some of the “hidden gems” of 2018 — while many of the plays from last season got plenty of attention (Mack’s pick-6, Willy Wonka, Santa’s Sleigh, etc), there are still tons of plays from all throughout the year that have something to tell us. Some of these plays involve outstanding individual efforts, while others give us insight into what makes Nagy’s offensive creativity so special.

This episode covers what should’ve been a game-saving stop against the Dolphins -- Akiem Hicks swallows Kenyan Drake at the goal line to force a fumble in overtime.
