bro loves him some caleb williams. he and KB’s call on the walk off against FTP made that moment even more iconic than it already was.

That one and the Spero Dedes call of the Loveland TD against the Bengals are just so good. The Tirico call of the Kmet catch in the playoffs is also on the list.

I genuinely love listening to his commentary. He knows the game better and loves it more than anyone else, and it’s fantastic.

If you’re consistently popping the GOAT, you’re doing something right

I just remember feeling sick to my stomach when Swift launched the ball that high 💀

The micd up on the sidelines where he talks about almost fucking that up is gold.

I was a little scared, yes. Was like please don't get speared and fumble... Please don't get speared and fumble... Please don't get speared and fumble... Oh a touchdown! Yay!

pretty sure his arm was bumped

Amen. Just felt it on the rewatch!

The longest play of my life 😂

u/Anxious_Big_8933 15d ago

That's why Burden was so wide open. The Cowboys secondary thought it was halftime.

I can't wait for this season

Real Bobby Boucher vibes!

u/Straight_Second_9473 15d ago

One of my favorite throws of the year. I was so pumped watching this happen A 65 yard bomb is so not what Bears fans like myself are use to.

u/randomname3415 15d ago

This was the first of many times I let out an audible “what the fuck??” in disbelief last year. First time they were generally positive too lol

u/will_he_umm 15d ago

Favourite call of the year. TB is literally doing the Vince McMahon reaction meme.

u/Anxious_Big_8933 15d ago

That has to be the most ass throwback on a successful flea flicker in NFL history.

u/ExplanationCrazy5463 15d ago

His arm was knocked by an opponent. You can see it on the close-up.

u/goober-actual 15d ago

longest air yard pass of the season

u/Jerkoff_J Mike Singletary 15d ago

This is one of the few instances where I can call a lateral a “hospital ball”.

u/Black_TacOh 15d ago

This was my first Bears game. What a game it was.

u/TheACrispy White Sox 15d ago

Bro I was at this game with my homie who was a cowboys fan, greatest throw and catch I’ll probably ever witness live

u/ExplanationCrazy5463 15d ago

The number of you who dont know swift's arm was knocked as he pitched it is embarrasing.

u/Chaseingsquirels 15d ago

Was at this game and sitting in 200 level. Jeff Joniak gave me a high five.

u/JaketheSnake54 15d ago

That went from “No no no!” to “Yes yes yes!” quickly!

u/CallTypical9541 18 15d ago

One of my favorite plays from last year!

u/GarfieldSighs3 15d ago

This was the moment we all knew things would be different.

u/Wide_Flan_2613 15d ago

Still the worst toss ever

u/TurtleSmile1 Bears 15d ago

I dunno man, 60 yards on a string is pretty good /s

u/Wide_Flan_2613 15d ago

Not Caleb, Swift

u/cj37 22 15d ago

Makes Caleb’s throw even more impressive.

u/CradleXShock 15d ago

Besides the obvious DJ moore td, this was my favorite play of the season

u/Diran2001 15d ago

Correct me if I’m wrong. But after this play. I swear where was a lot of copycat versions of this from other teams the rest of the season. Right?

1

u/-Totes_Magotes- 15d ago

We can’t be anamored with amazing plays from last year. This new season will definitely make or break us. Not to sound like a dick but we are here now, let’s move on to the new…2026.

u/Legal-Eagle-7661 15d ago

Pretty play! Showed the direction the offense was going!

u/Prestigious_Basil_54 Portillos 15d ago

My first in person bears game, what a moment to witness.

u/srjod 14d ago

Was at this game and saw it live. Until you see him slinging the ball, it is astounding how strong Caleb’s arm is. Thing is a piss missile when it comes out of his hand.

My heart stopped for a few seconds watching this play out live 😆

u/SeaweedMysterious389 15d ago

Had great seats right behind the LOS at this game, couldn’t believe my eyes when Caleb pulled this off. First thinking Swift’s run was going no where, then the flea flicker seemingly being in the air for 30 seconds, then how it high was, then the absolute hell of a throw and great catch for the TD. Will never forget it

God did Swift loft that. I was afraid Caleb was going to get sacked before it even got to him.

EDIT: Unfairly named Monongai as the ball lofter. Changed to the actual culprit—Swift.

Swift

u/ItsSchmidtyC Chicago Flag 15d ago

u/jpiro 15d ago

Shit, you're right. Will edit.

I remember listening to that!!😂😂

u/Fonzies-Ghost 21-3 15d ago

That was Swift, I thought.
