Bears fans toggling between pride in the season and fury at D.Moore quitting on the route that would've won it.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
C.Williams found C.Kmet for the 14-yard score with 27 seconds left to force the extra period, the kind of throw Bears fans will replay all offseason. Then the defense let M.Stafford and P.Nacua walk 16 yards into Mevis range, and the playcalling went hero-ball instead of grinding out the yards needed. A season that ended on a field goal in bonus football, with familiar questions about whether the staff trusts its own offense in the moments that matter.
