Bears tight end Cole Kmet catches a 50-yard touchdown pass from Justin Fields in the third quarter of the Bears’ 31-30 loss to the Lions on Sunday at Soldier Field.

An open tight end is often the sign of a good offense. But Cole Kmet was so wide open on a downfield pass route in the third quarter against the Lions on Sunday that the anticipation threatened to make the easiest catch a little difficult. If there’s such a thing as being too wide open, this was it.

But Kmet had a bigger problem as Justin Fields’ pass hung in the air and the Soldier Field crowd anticipated a big play.
