Nathan Peterman Threw the Saddest Hail Mary Pass in Bears’ Win Over Raiders

It only took one snap for Nathan Peterman to make himself the butt of the joke yet again.

Peterman, whose career has been marked by his propensity for throwing interceptions, served as the Bears’ backup quarterback Sunday behind Tyson Bagent, the undrafted rookie playing in place of the injured Justin Fields. And while Bagent put together an efficient day as a passer, Bears coach Matt Eberflus turned to Peterman for a Hail Mary pass at the end of the first half due to his superior arm strength. And while that may have been a good idea on paper, the result was meme-worthy.

Peterman was forced to roll out of the pocket thanks to pressure by the Raiders defense. He then uncorked an errant throw that got nowhere close to the end zone.
