The play was designed to go to D’Andre Swift.
The Bears led by eight halfway into the fourth quarter Friday when Caleb Williams took a snap from under center and rolled left, where he was supposed to throw to his running back in the flat. With Swift four yards in front of him, Williams felt Eagles safety Sydney Brown crashing toward the line of scrimmage.
That left the other safety, Reed Blankenship, as the only person covering tight end Cole Kmet, who ran a corner route. With no help behind Blankenship, Williams could loft a pass into the blustery sky and into the left corner of the end zone — so long as he led Kmet.
