Bears’ last-gasp lateral play falls short

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Don’t ask Packers coach Matt LaFleur to detail the Bears’ last play Sunday — a one-pass, two-lateral play that might have been a touchdown if they’d pitched it one more time.

“I think I blacked out there for a second,” he said.

With one second left, down eight, quarterback Mitch Trubisky took a shotgun snap and threw short left to Tarik Cohen at the Packers’ 30. The quarterback then ran down the left sideline, as Cohen scooted across the field, left to right. Cohen got the 20 untouched and threw a sideways pass to Trubisky on the left.
