The Bears had marched all the way down to the Ravens’ 3 on the first drive Sunday when, on second-and-goal, coach Ben Johnson sent in an unusual lineup.
Running back D’Andre Swift and receivers Rome Odunze and DJ Moore — their best three skill position players — ran off the field. They were replaced by rookie running back Kyle Monangai and receivers Olamide Zaccheus and Luther Burden. Third-string tight end Durham Smythe split wide left, went in motion and blocked in front of Monangai, who took a handoff out of the shotgun.
Ravens tackle Travis Jones stepped between guard Joe Thuney and center Drew Dalman, forcing Monangai to bounce the run to the right.
