Misery Index · Content
Bears fans nauseous through a 47-42 win they nearly blew, half in love with C.Williams and half terrified of him.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
C.Williams to C.Loveland for 58 yards with 25 seconds left is the kind of throw that rewrites a season, or at least a week — a 47-42 escape after C.Jones took the opening kickoff 98 yards and J.Flacco spent four quarters carving up the secondary. The defense surrendered 42 points to a Joe Flacco offense and survived an onside recovery, which is the part nobody wants to talk about yet. A win is a win, but only barely.
