CLEVELAND — Of all the players who could’ve had a shot at catching the Bears’ Hail Mary pass as it caromed around the crowded end zone, it would’ve meant a ton to Darnell Mooney.
Desperate for a highlight in an otherwise dismal season and desperate to bail out the Bears against the Browns on Sunday, Mooney came maddeningly close to making what would’ve been the catch of a lifetime for the game-winning touchdown, but it bounded away and the Browns won 20-17.
Quarterback Justin Fields launched the ball from the Browns’ 45-yard line, and the Browns swatted at it as tight end Cole Kmet went up for it.
