If the Bears’ Week 1 defensive stop was defined by what D’Andre Swift dropped — the ball in the end zone, with 6 seconds left — then Sunday’s was punctuated by what side judge Don Willard pulled from his pocket.
As the clock expired, Willard threw a flag toward Giants receiver Golden Tate, who had been blanketed by Bears safety Eddie Jackson on an incomplete pass from the 10 with the Bears up by four.
Tate wanted pass interference — and he got it. On himself. Willard ruled that Tate shoved down slot cornerback Buster Skrine earlier in his route.
