Deonte Thompson Burns Cardinals With 109-Yard Miss Field Goal TD

-

Deonte Thompson has played like a man possessed in the preseason thus far and he may have just topped himself. With the Chicago Bears leading 10-7 with one second left, the Arizona Cardinals decided to attempt a 63-yard field goal to tie the game. On the off chance it fell short, the coaches made sure to have Thompson back deep.

Turns out? Good decision.

The setup of the play was executed to perfection. Thompson made his initial move to elude the first tackle and then he had his blocks set up. From there it was mostly speed to house it for a touchdown to end the half. The Bears went into the locker room with a 17-7 lead on the road against a pretty good team in the Cardinals.

There were plenty of positives on offense and defense as well. They didn’t allowed much on the ground while Tarik Cohen ran his tail off. How the game finishes remains to be seen, but it’s nice to see the team starting to execute so well.
