It was just last week when we were comparing a Caleb Williams-to-DJ Moore touchdown pass and catch to one of the most iconic plays in NFL history. Caleb’s touchdown pass in the Browns game mirrored Joe
Montana’s iconic roll right, then throw to the back of the end zone, as Dwight Clark jumped up to snatch the ball for the score.
The plays were aesthetically similar, but Montana to Clark in the 1981 NFC Championship Game against the Dallas Cowboys, to send the San Francisco 49ers to their first Super Bowl, was a far bigger moment than the Bears beating the Browns in Week 15.
But what about the drama of the Chicago Bears vs the Green Bay Packers in Week 16, with first place on the line, in overtime, following an improbable 10-point comeback in regulation?
That’s certainly a bigger moment, so where would you rank Saturday’s Caleb to DJ walk-off?
There have been some great catches in Bears history — Harlon Hill, Brandon Marshall, Alshon Jeffery, Marty Booker, Zach Miller, Darnell Mooney — but this play may be better than them all.
We’ve seen one-handed grabs, high-pointed balls, acrobatic leaps, dives, contested receptions, but have we ever seen a blindfolded touchdown catch?
