The Chicago Bears were driving for a potential winning score against the Washington Commanders on Thursday at Soldier Field.
The low-scoring game came down to a fourth-down play and Justin Fields threw a pass to Darnell Mooney.
The pass was a little behind the Bears’ receiver, who was hit as he was about to make the catch.
Had he held on immediately, it would have been a touchdown.
However, Mooney bobbled the football before coming down with it, inches short of the goal line.
Final score: Washington 12, Chicago 7.

The outcome ruined a spectacular run by Fields to put the Bears in scoring position.
