Eric Weddle tried to play the hero and instead ended up the goat.
The Ravens Pro Bowl safety tried to strip Bears running back Jordan Howard in overtime, but Weddle instead ended up on his back and Howard rumbled 53 yards to set up Chicago’s game-winning field goal in a 27-24 loss at M&T Bank Stadium.
“That’s the deciding play, that’s why we lost,” Weddle said.
“It’s an unacceptable play. I’ve got to make the tackle, obviously. I had a good hand on the ball, but I just can’t do that in that situation.
