    Punter loses $120,000 after Bears’ Hail Mary fails in cruel twist

    Pabio Posted on

    This punter’s stomach must have been in knots during the fourth quarter of Commanders-Bears on Sunday.

    A punter to Césars Sports betting had $120,000 on the Bears -2.5 on Sunday – according to Ben Fawkes – a bet that was one game away from cashing.

    With the ball at their own 48-yard line and trailing by three with two seconds remaining, Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels launched a bomb 65-plus yards into the end zone that deflected off the fingers of Bears defenders and landed in the arms of wide-open receiver Noah Brown for an 18-15 victory.

    This marked an incredible victory for the Commanders, who are now 6-2 and lead the NFC East, while the Bears suffered a brutalss.

    Losing $120,000 this way could make this bettor the biggest loser of all in Week 8.

    This bettor certainly wasn’t feeling good when the Bears were down 12-0 while rookie quarterback Caleb Williams was struggling.

    Things surely only got worse when Bears coach Matt Eberflus decided to send an offensive lineman to carry the ball on a third-and-goal at the one-yard line in the fourth quarter as he was down 12-7.

    Williams ended up fumbling the ball on the handoff when the game seemed almost lost.

    Chicago’s defense stood up and got a three-and-out, leading to a touchdown and a two-point conversion to take a 15-12 lead and put the cover back in play as hope seemed lost.

    And then one of the craziest plays of the season happened.

    This gamble was not without its problems, however.

    The bettor missed the best line a bit since the Bears’ bet of 2.5 points was set when Daniels was not expected to play.

    Betting on the NFL?

    With Daniels’ surprising play, the Commanders moved to 1.5 point favorites.

    In the end, the Bears didn’t cover either spread as the Hail Mary was successful and everyone who bet on Chicago had their hearts ripped out during the final seconds of the game. .
