LONDON — Tight end Cole Kmet made one of his best plays in five seasons with the Bears on Sunday, bowling over Jaguars safety Andre Cisco and stretching his arm over the goal line for a 31-yard touchdown catch early in the second quarter.

Then came the hard part.

With long-snapper Scott Daly out of the game after suffering a knee injury on a punt in the first quarter, it was up to Kmet — the team’s emergency long-snapper — to center the ball for Cairo Santos’ extra point.
