The Bears’ last gasp 30-second lateral bonanza vs. the Giants was a perfect summary of their bleak afternoon

Yakety Sax was recorded specifically for moments like this.

If you look at the final 20-12 score of the Bears’ game with the Giants (+3), you’d think it was a closely-contested and heated affair between two surprising NFC teams. Look through their general offensive box score — 155 yards passing, six sacks, zero touchdowns on three red zone trips, three fumbles lost — and you see that Justin Fields and Co. actually “enjoyed” a bleak afternoon on the road.

That’s what made the Bears’ final desperate schoolyard toss around the field to try and win the game all too fitting. Like their overall effort on the day, the hook-and-ladder attempt showed hints of promise when it shuffled through the hands of Fields and offensive linemen like Teven Jenkins.

And by the end of all the flailing and lateral movement (over roughly 30 strange seconds), they ultimately moved the ball up the field very little:

Incredible! Look at the dots of this wild one, too:

Truly, what art.

Only the Bears could turn a 30-second play that seemingly touched the hands of every player on offense into absolutely nothing up field. At least it’s nothing out of character for a team that struggles to score 20 points and eclipse 300 yards of offense every Sunday.
