The Bears were in dire need of a spark during the second quarter of Week 8’s Sunday night matchup against the Chargers. Chicago trailed 17–0 when the offense drew up a deep pass for wide receiver Velus Jones.
Jones, who beat his coverage by a country mile, somehow slipped while turning to track the ball, causing him to fall over and drop what would’ve been an otherwise uncontested touchdown pass.
Tyson Bagent’s pass was right on the money, so much so that it still hit Jones square in the chest when he landed on his back. Unfortunately, the former third-round pick couldn’t grasp hold of it and it landed as a disappointing incompletion.
