What led to Caleb Williams' epic touchdown pass against the Rams?
Here we go, fourth and four. The man in motion, Williams, drifting, sprinting for space, in all kinds of trouble, putting it up for Dexter, he ends up, he got it!
For the touchdown! They've done it again! Unbelievable! And the crowd goes wild. That was fun to hear. It's Soldier Field. This is Rahimi Harrison-Grote on 104.3 The Score. That courtesy of Mike Tirico, who liked being here, too, with Chris Collinsworth on NBC. They did. Did you like that?
He told us he loved Chicago. Like, the way he talks about Chicago and calling games here is... It's amazing, but you know what? That throw was unbelievable, and I'm sorry, but every time I watch it, because how many times did you watch it in a 24-hour period? Would you guess? Would you guess?
Oh, man. Oh, geez. Probably close to 100. Yeah, I mean, I slow-mo a lot of stuff, too, but no, more than 15, I guess. I don't even know off the top of my head, because the play itself lasted longer than most plays because of how far he ran back. It was other things, too, like the ISO of Komet swinging the bat at Stacey Dales, you know, ran right to her. I think she was filming with her phone. That was just perfect.
Yeah, that was on her phone. I think for me, every time I see it, though, I almost don't expect it to be a completed pass because of the nature of the start of the play.
You know what I think? Being a sports old head, if you will. I sit in the Kevin Durant camp. You know, I'm Team Stripes, not Team Stars.
Not the Kevin Durant, not the we ran out of gas camp.
But I'm like, man, you could do that now. But like years later, you might be like, I can't believe we really did that. Like, that was pretty crazy. But yeah, just the excitement and listening to the crowd again. That's a good audio mix, Ray and Tyler, of just how good the crowd was and how it popped at Soldier Field. And to say the phrase Soldier Field crowd pop, It's not something that I think I've said in my life.
Many Bears fans have not said that in their lifetime.
Like WWE Survivor Series crowd pop when CM Punk returned. That's something I've said. But a Soldier Field crowd pop for the career?
We're in a different era, baby. What about a United Center Bulls crowd pop?
Would those happen? Like when I was there for the Giddy half court shot.
Oh, he makes a half court shot.
But no, you know what? The United Center crowd pop actually happens pretty frequently because of how they know a three will tear the roof off a place or a dunk or something along those lines. I feel like that happens pretty often. The United Center crowd is into it.
Is that more about crowd timing then and being aware of the moment that you're living in?
But as a group, because haven't you been there at times where when you're in the arena, you're like, oh, if he hits this three, this place is going to go bananas. And then it does. That happens.
I guess that didn't happen when I went to the season opener two seasons ago.
When you and I were sitting there watching and then you're like, Oklahoma City's up by 19. And I'm like, wait, how did that happen so fast?
How did Caleb Williams execute the play under pressure?
We've been watching the game.
There was no crowd pop that day.
But the point is, Soldier Field crowd. And that play, Caleb Williams talked about it. It's hard to talk about it after a loss with any sort of appreciation because it frustrated. Your season's over. It could have been so close to extending. You could have lived to see another day. But unfortunately, not the case. So I appreciate Caleb Williams talking about this on the Rush podcast with Max Crosby. That whole process is he made the impossible possible.
Ben has a clip from watching from behind Ben. And Ben, he's watching me. And he goes... He like tilts his head back. And I already know his mind's like, what the is he doing? Like, don't go, don't run away. It's fourth down. Like, obviously don't run away from. Yeah. Where we need to go.
Where we need to go.
It's the biggest play, biggest moment. And so in that moment, it's, I was actually about to escape. So I had a tight, tight edge on both sides, short edge on both sides.
