The play was a desperate attempt to find the endzone for a chance to tie the game, but Horsted did have a chance to do that. Receiver Allen Robinson was open on the lateral, but the tight end didn’t see him.

Trubisky misfired on multiple passes during the prior drive, including the final four to give the ball back to Green Bay and his interception on the drive prior to that with good field position halted another.
