Caleb Williams cites 'miscommunication' with DJ Moore after OT interception

Cbssports reports that in Sunday night's divisional round showdown with the Los Angeles Rams, Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams' deep pass to DJ Moore in overtime was intercepted by a diving Kam Curl, a decisive turnover in the Bears' 20-17 loss. Williams called the play a "miscommunication" with Moore, saying, "I got to go back and watch it, haven't seen it and don't really know, but in the moment, I saw the front-side safety down, front-sided concept.

Ended up getting hemmed up a little bit and so moved on and had DJ going over top over all of it. Just a miscommunication between him and I. Tried to flatten him off under the safety and he kept it vertical, from what I saw in the moment." Curl watched Williams' eyes throughout the play and tracked the throw after Moore seemingly stopped on his route.

Moore finished with a team-high five receptions for 52 yards and a touchdown and was targeted several times in overtime, and Chicago had tied the game with 18 seconds left on Williams' fourth-down pass to Cole Kmet. Per Next Gen Stats, Williams' heave to Kmet traveled 51 yards in the air after he scrambled to avoid pressure from Jared Verse.
