D’Andre Swift, and not Caleb Williams, was able to shake the Bears out of their offensive funk Sunday afternoon. With about a minute to play, the running back took a handoff around the left end, behind blocks from tight end Cole Kmet and rookie Kiran Amegadjie, and ran up the sideline for a 56-yard touchdown.
“Really good blocking on the perimeter,” Bears coach Matt Eberflus said Monday. “I know it puts a little life into the whole situation.”
Commanders coach Dan Quinn thought it was one of the biggest plays of the game, which ended in a 18-15 win after a now-infamous Hail Mary.
