What happened?
The Bears had the ball, 2nd down and long from I think the Detroit 34, trailing by 3. There were 36 seconds and critically, they had one timeout left.

Caleb Williams got sacked for about 5 yards. Then...basically nothing happened. The Bears just kind of milled around for 15 seconds while the clocked ticked down until they suddenly seemed to realize "oh shit" and they scrambled to line up.

They finally get a snap off with about 5 seconds--mind you, they had a timeout this whole time!--and end up throwing a dying duck of a pass that falls incomplete around the 10 right after the clock expired. It was absolutely ridiculous.
