Former Notre Dame football tight end [autotag]Cole Kmet[/autotag] had himself quite the first half for the Chicago Bears as they faced off against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London, England.
The fifth-year player has been very solid for the team that drafted him, but on Sunday, it might have been his best performance of his career in just 30-minutes of football.
Kmet first caught a 31-yard touchdown early in the second quarter to get the Bears on the scoreboard. Then just before the half, another score, this one from 2-yards out to extend the lead.
That wasn’t the most surprising part of his performance, as Chicago’s regular long snapper Scott Daly was injured during the game. Kmet stepped up and took over the duties, and made two perfect snaps on extra points.
While he has been fairly quiet during the second half, the impact that Kmet had on this game had already been felt. What a Sunday for the former Irish star.
