The Final Lateral Play Scared The S— Out of Me
Green Bay Packers beat the Chicago Bears. It is something they’ve done time and again throughout the last decade of games. Bears have only won four times in the 2010s against Green Bay. The last time Chicago swept Green Bay was 2007. But we nearly had an iconic moment in the Bears-Packers rivalry. The lateral nearly heard around the world as the Chicago Bears tried to throw the pigskin around at the final play. My heart laid in my stomach as no one could tackle and if Jesper Headstead pitches to Allen Robinson, it’s a touchdown. Thankfully, he did not.

I’m telling you that it would have been the worst way to lose a game in a while. Everyone would have talked about it and there would be no escaping it. Again, thankfully that is not a worry to us. Instead, we’re talking in the almost category versus it did happen. Can we agree that it would have almost been more poetic had the Bears scored the touchdown only to have them miss the two-point conversion? Let’s work on our lateral defense this week, boys.
