At Lambeau Field on Sunday afternoon, the Bears almost scored twice in the last nine seconds of the game against the Packers, which would have put them in position to tie the game and keep their playoff hopes alive. First came a Hail Mary, nearly caught by Chicago WR Riley Ridley after Green Bay CB Jaire Alexander tipped the ball back to him in the end zone. That was followed by a wacky lateral pitch play coming with one second left on the clock; if Bears TE Jesper Horsted had glanced behind him and seen the open Allen Robinson, there’s a good chance Chicago’s lateral improv would have ended with a Robinson touchdown.
