Following Thursday night’s frustrating loss to the Commanders, Bears running back Khalil Herbert had trouble sleeping, as he always does after a game. His mind kept going back to one play in particular, so he got out of bed around 3 a.m. and grabbed his iPad to watch the play again and again.
With the Bears facing fourth-and-inches in the second quarter, Herbert took the handoff and was stuffed at the goal line. Herbert thought about what he could’ve done different. Leaping over the pile was certainly an option, but Herbert has never considered himself a hurdler. He’s more comfortable with his feet on the ground. Still, the play haunted him.
