Caleb Williams made one of the best plays in NFL history on Sunday night. And Mike Tirico matched it with one of the best calls in NFL history.
The Cardiac Chicago Bears gave us yet another moment of magic in these playoffs, plus a look at their curious menu.
Trailing 17-10 with just 27 seconds to go, Williams had the ball in his hands in the red zone on a fourth down. The Rams sent a hefty pass rush, forcing the QB several yards back.
At one point, it seemed like he would run all the way back to his own end zone. But he managed to put one in the sky for Cole Kmet, who brought it down for a touchdown.
Tirico, who was on the call, delivered a classic. And social media is raving over it.
“Two takeaways from this play: 1. Caleb Williams is a wizard. 2. Mike Tirico is a legend,” one fan wrote.
“It feels like a weekly tweet at this point. Mike Tirico is a legend,” another claimed.
“PEOPLE ARE NOT GONNA TALK ABOUT THIS, BUT MIKE TIRICO JUST HAD ONE OF THE GREATEST CALLS IN #NFL HISTORY BY A BROADCASTER. ONE HELL OF A CALL BY TIRICO,” said a third.
“I’m glad Mike Tirico was on the mic for that moment. He’s way more emotive than the other NFL announcers,” someone shared.
“Love how Mike Tirico absolutely lost it there. I don’t think I’ve ever heard him that excited — a true “do you believe in miracles?!” moment,” another user shared.
While the touchdown sent the game into overtime, the Bears weren’t able to complete the job. Williams would throw an interception that ultimately resulted in a Rams field goal and a 20-17 loss.
