Bears offensive coordinator Luke Getsy and coach Matt Eberflus look on in September.

Soldier Field fans booed Sunday when, facing third-and-one in the fourth quarter with an eight-point lead, offensive coordinator Luke Getsy got too cute.

Quarterback Justin Fields lined up in a shotgun formation and walked toward the line of scrimmage to make a blocking call. He backpedaled into formation, switching places with rookie running back Roschon Johnson. As Fields went into motion to the right, the Bears snapped the ball to Johnson, who plunged up the middle — and was stuffed.
