Caleb Williams had no shortage of big-time plays in his second season with the Chicago Bears. The 24-year-old firmly established himself as one of the most electrifying quarterbacks in the entire NFL, especially with his clutch play during crucial moments.

One of Williams’ most memorable plays came against the Los Angeles Rams in the Divisional Round of the NFL playoffs. With less than a minute remaining in the game and the Bears down seven points, Williams somehow found tight end Cole Kmet with a jaw-dropping touchdown to tie the game and force overtime.

Chicago ultimately lost the contest, 20-17, but there’s no denying that Williams produced one of the most awe-inspiring TD passes in recent memory.
