Scott Bair: Why I’m joining Hogs Haven
I’m a longtime NFL journalist who has previously covered the Chargers, Raiders, Falcons and Bears.
I was in the Northwest Stadium tunnels when Jayden Daniels sent a high volley skyward towards the end zone, furiously typing what I assumed would be a Bears victory recap for the Chicago media outlet I worked for. There was a postgame show to join right after the clocks ran out, offering no time to walk towards the field and watch the final play. Chicago, it sure seemed, had this one wrapped up.
My ears heard otherwise. Absolute silence filled the air for 12. 7 seconds while Daniels scrambled through the backfield, looking for a time to launch.
It was replaced by a deafening roar as gravity brought Daniels’ pass down to earth, right into Noah Brown’s arms . HAIL NOAH!!!!!!!!!! 📺 #CHIvsWAS CBS pic.
