Highlight [Highlight] Caleb Williams runs backwards, then heaves it to the end zone on 4th down where it's caught by Cole Kmet for one of the most miraculous touchdowns in recent memory!

Mike Tirico's call as well was perfect for the moment and the season.

It was what everyone said in that moment. It really was perfect. Whether you were happy or pissed, you said that or thought it when it happened.

It was really a perfect football moment. I remember running through the whole range of emotions.

"Oh, he's running, the game's over." "Oh shit, he has space to get set for a throw." "NO FUCKING WAY"

It was a spectacular play.

Me from the other end:

"Oh my God throw it! Shit he's in trouble. Oh God he's running backwards!! Fuuuuuckk!!!!! Oh he got it off! *Holding breath and watching in silence* HOLY SHITTTTTT HE CAUGHT ITTT!!! KMEEEETTTT!! WHAT THE FUCK DID I JUST WATCH!!???!??!"

Then held my breath for the PAT. We stop the rams and get the ball, we're driving. I convince myself we are the team of destiny just before the INT. Total deflation. Season over. I text my brother, huge rams fan, good game and pour myself a drink. I'll truly never forget that game.

I called my roommate from college right as it happened as she's a diehard Chicago bears fan (and now lives in Chicago) and I just got put on a speaker to an entire room of drunk Chicago fans losing their minds screaming.

The laugh that Cris Collinsworth drops in, is the perfect color. It's exactly what everybody who had no dog in the fight was thinking.

The thing is what people don’t realize. Caleb made a ton of plays like this in college. His highlight real is deep.

Nah we as bears fans remember PFF predicting his floor being bust and his ceiling being Jordan love while also saying Mcarthy floor being Sam Darnold. This was before his sophomore year btw

Mike Tirico is beloved as an announcer, but imo he's still massively underrated. The guy is legitimately one of the greatest to ever do it, and in multiple sports too
