Everything that could have gone right on Sunday for Chicago did, in fact, go right for Chicago. Throughout a 31-3 drumming of the Cleveland, their offense looked like a well-oiled machine, and their defense put a rookie QB in a "rookie's place".

The game was riddled with highlight-level plays for the Bears. D'Andre Swift busted out one of his best runs of the year, breaking multiple tackles on his way to his second score of the day.
Jaylon Johnson also got into the mix, hauling in one of the more impressive interceptions of the season on a pass from Shadeur to Jerry Judy that looked sure to be a TD.
Of all these highlights, the play of the day was without question one of Caleb Williams' signature acrobatic throws. If you take a closer look at it, it actually looks identical to one of the most famous and electric plays in the history of the NFL.
Caleb Williams and DJ Moore pulled off 'The Catch' 2.0
In the 3rd quarter of the game with 8:39 left, Caleb Williams decided to put the nail in the coffin of this game.
Williams rolled out to his right, further and further, until it seemed as if he had no more than inches between him and the sideline. That's when he makes magic happen.
He throws the ball high to the back of the endzone with Browns defenders barrelling down on him, and out of nowhere comes DJ Moore to jump up and snag his ball out of the crowd. It was just as impressive a catch as it was a throw.
It might be the best highlight of Caleb's career to this point. Once a secondary camera angle came out, fans realized something. They had seen this before somewhere. It was the famous 49ers play from 1982 labeled 'The Catch'.

It was the NFC Championship game in 1982, and to win the game, Joe Montana similarly rolled out to his right, threw it just before hitting the sideline, and found his WR, Dwight Clark, in the back of the endzone. Watch the tweet above for yourself to see the similarity.
When asked about the throw after the game and how it could've possibly been reckless, Caleb Williams confidently said, "I can make any throw."
After watching this play and countless others, I sure believe him.
