desperation pass from Bobby Douglass to give the Bears a thrilling 16-15 comeback win over the Washington Redskins at Soldier Field.
The Bears trailed 15-3 in the second half before cutting the deficit to 15-9 on a pair of Mac Percival field goals. Running back Cyril Pinder then scored the game’s first and only touchdown on a 40-yard run up the middle, tying the score 15-15 with 11:19 left in the fourth quarter.
But on the subsequent extra point attempt, Gene Hamlin delivered a high snap to Douglass, who had no choice other than to take off with the ball.
