One of the most talked-about plays of Thursday night’s game between the New England Patriots and Chicago Bears came from the losing team.
The Patriots were trailing 20-7 late in the second quarter, and it initially looked like that was going to be the score heading into halftime, with the Bears getting the ball to start the third quarter. It was one of those moments where it looked like the game was going to get away from the Patriots, until a miracle happened.

Patriots quarterback Drake Maye dumped off a pass to running back Rhamondre Stevenson, who somehow turned it upfield and ran into the end zone for a 48-yard touchdown. The Bears’ defense looked completely dumbfounded by the play.
It was a two-play drive that went for 66 yards and kept the Patriots in it.
You don’t see these kinds of plays often at the NFL level.
There were multiple Bears defenders caught watching as Stevenson powered his way down the field for a much-needed touchdown for New England.
Here’s how social media reacted to the play:
