Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson’s creative playcalls have been a huge highlight of the 2025 season. The flea flicker touchdown to Luther Burden, the fake flea flicker run, Caleb Williams catching a touchdown pass from DJ Moore, and a screen pass thrown from backup quarterback Tyson Bagent to Caleb Williams, to name just a few.

It seems the Bears’ head coach may have just hinted at another insane trick play that could happen soon.

According to Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune, we might see an offensive lineman get the football.

Did the Chicago Bears head coach just hint at a Darnell Wright trick play?!

During Wednesday’s press conference, Johnson was asked about his starting right tackle’s viral moment from Sunday’s win over the Bengals. Following Colston Loveland’s game-winning touchdown, Darnell Wright was shown doing a cartwheel to celebrate. The hilarious moment has gone viral all over social media.

When asked, Johnson had an interesting response. The Bears’ head coach said that “We have to continue to highlight what he can do with or without the ball.” With the ball? The right tackle did get a couple of chances to catch the football in one-on-ones during training camp. This could be a hint at another trick play Johnson has up his sleeve.

#Bears coach Ben Johnson referred to RT Darnell Wright as a 'unicorn' again when asked about his cartwheel at the end of Sunday's game.

Wright has had such an impressive season and has been a force on the offensive line. Him catching a pass for a touchdown would be legendary, and we need it to happen. Could this be a possibility for Sunday’s game against the Giants?
