Dan Orlovsky rips Bears OC for terrible late-game play call

After finishing last season on a 10-game losing streak, the Chicago Bears are off to a disappointing 0-2 start in 2023. Although there's plenty of blame to go around, OC Luke Getsy's play-calling at the end of Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers ought to be questioned.

With 2:18 left in the fourth quarter and Chicago near its own end zone, trailing 20-17, quarterback Justin Fields completed a screen pass to running back Khalil Herbert, but an offensive pass interference penalty nullified the play. 

Rather than giving Tampa Bay a different look, Getsy called for an identical screen to Herbert on the next play, and linebacker Shaquil Barrett promptly intercepted Fields' pass for an easy four-yard pick-six. 

The play call has drawn justified criticism, and since he couldn't be present on Monday's "Get Up," ESPN’s Dan Orlovsky took to X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, to take aim at the ill-advised move.

"I don't know if I've seen that done where they run the same exact traditional screen, like, [running] back insert screen to the same side," Orlovsky said in a video where he analyzed the play. "Shaq Barrett and Lavonte David have seen 10,000 snaps together, of course they're going to sniff stuff like this out. It's the same play ... that's not on the quarterback, man."
