NFL early slate: Bears lose to Browns thanks to dropped Hail Mary
As the early slate in Week 15 wound down, the Chicago Bears and Cleveland Browns found themselves locked in a tight game.
A late touchdown by Amari Cooper tied things up with just over three minutes to play. The Browns later kicked a field goal with under a minute to play to go up 20-17.
Justin Fields and the Bears got the ball back with 32 seconds to play. The team managed to drive down the field, but was unable to get into field goal range. With five seconds left, Fields heaved a Hail Mary into the end zone. The ball was tipped down to receiver Darnell Mooney, who couldn't corral it to secure the score.
The win kept the Browns in the playoff hunt in the AFC. The Bears haven't been eliminated from the playoffs yet, but will need a lot of help to sneak into the final wild-card spot after Sunday's loss.
LIVE COVERAGE IS OVER93 updates
Tua Tagovailoa was in a big spot Sunday. He had no Tyreek Hill. He didn't play great without him on Monday. And against the Jets, Tua again showed his value.
