PA No. 001: Bears v Panthers

Week 1: Apparently Nobody Scouted This Position

The Crime: Bears tight end (Cole Kmet) wanders into the end zone.

Down and Distance: 1st-and-10 from Carolina’s 22 with 13:57 remaining in the second quarter, extending Chicago’s lead to 21–7.

Defensive Strategy: Assume the 250-pound eligible receiver is merely sightseeing.

Result: Touchdown.

Official Ruling: Entirely preventable.

Degree of Difficulty: He barely inconvenienced himself.

Carm’s Coaching Note:

If the tight end has enough time to reflect on his weekend plans while waiting for the football, your coverage has failed.

Witten Index: 9.3/10
Large man. Minimal urgency. Maximum defensive surprise.
