Let\u2019s take a look and get your vote in today!<\/p>\n<p>DJ Moore OT Game-Winning TD vs GB VS DJ Moore go-ahead TD vs GB Wild Card Round<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">A battle of DJ Moore plays. We seeded these matchups, but didn\u2019t unveil the seeds, as we didn\u2019t want to influence any voting. DJ Moore\u2019s go-ahead TD against Green Bay was the only upset of the first round. It defeated Cole Kmet\u2019s touchdown against the Eagles on a ridiculously acrobatic throw from Caleb Williams. But the fact that Moore\u2019s TD was the nail that beat the Packers in the playoffs was too much for the Kmet throw to overcome.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">In this battle of Moore plays, could the playoffs influence another upset, this time coming against the epic TD against the Packers in overtime?<\/p>\n<p>DJ Moore Go Ahead TD vs Packers, Wild Card<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">This was set up beautifully by Ben Johnson, who used a bunch set all game and set up the Packers DBs to bite at the line of scrimmage and released DJ behind them. Caleb has a nice pump fake to freeze the defender, and DJ breaks wide open. This isn\u2019t one of Caleb\u2019s flashier players, but it\u2019s a solid throw and, you know, leads to the Bears beating the Packers in the playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>Game Winner to DJ Moore in OT vs Packers<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">We certainly thought this was going to be the throw of the year, but at the time, we didn\u2019t know what Caleb Williams had in store for us in the playoffs. Tom Brady called this his favorite throw of the year, a brilliant throw to Moore in the perfect spot that tops off an incredible come-from-behind victory against the Bears\u2019 rivals in overtime.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">To vote on this matchup, you can do so here:<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Here\u2019s our second matchup:<\/p>\n<p>Colston Loveland game-winning TD vs Cin VS Caleb Williams \u201cJumpman\u201d 4th down throw to Rome Odunze<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Colston Loveland throw won a football game. The Jumpman throw saved the season. Both plays are incredible. How will the fans see this one?<\/p>\n<p>Colston Loveland Game Winner vs Bengals<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">I felt this throw needed to be recognized because of the precise moment he released the ball. It\u2019s not his most athletic throw of the season, but it\u2019s the timing of the throw. Williams hits Loveland in a sea of Bengals, where if he throws it a tick earlier or a tick later, the result would have been an incomplete pass or an interception. When you consider the pressure with less than 30 seconds to go, Williams needed to deliver a strike, and he did just that.<\/p>\n<p>Rome Odunze jumpman throw on 4th down vs Packers, Wild Card Weekend<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Don\u2019t worry, we didn\u2019t forget this one. If this ball falls incomplete, the Bears\u2019 season is over. But Williams on 4th down, giving us a glimpse of the Air Jordan logo and dropping this one into Rome Odunze\u2019s lap as 4 Green Bay Packers surround him was one of the best throws in the history of the league, and yet, somehow, he tops it one week later.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">To vote on this one, you can do so here:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We continue along in our voting for the Caleb Madness bracket, where you, the Bears fan, determine Caleb&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":845649,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2070],"tags":[374,692,391,85235,14087,2493,7,6,12015],"class_list":["post-845648","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-chicago-bears","tag-bears","tag-chicago","tag-chicago-bears","tag-chicago-bears-discussion","tag-chicago-bears-history","tag-chicagobears","tag-football","tag-nfl","tag-poll"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/845648","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=845648"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/845648\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/845649"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=845648"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=845648"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=845648"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
