Bears rookie cornerback Terell Smith was ready for his moment.
“I feel like the coaches did a good job of keeping us prepared,” the fifth-round draft pick from Minnesota said. “I feel like I was well-prepared. The lights didn’t feel too bright. I felt like I knew my assignments.”
And then it happened. With Russell Wilson and the Broncos taking possession at their 19-yard-line in a tie game with 2:52 left in regulation following a Bears failure on fourth-and-one, Wilson lofted a deep ball for rookie wide receiver Marvin Mims, who sped past Smith to make the catch for a 48-yard gain to the Bears 33.
