I live in Texas and fell asleep right around the restart of the game, so I missed what sounds like an awful first half. I happened to wake up around the 3 minutes remaining mark of the 4th quarter, two plays before Washington kicked a 50 yarder to take the lead.
I watched the final drive and Garbers truly stepped up big time. His first two passes were almost perfectly placed. This wide receiver screen/quick hit that got us down inside the 5 was a crisply thrown ball.
While I didn't like the play call on 2nd and goal, Garbers centered the ball and didn't panic or fumble.
Garbers and our offensive personnel don't seem like they're capable of carrying this team in a shoot-out, but he showed last night he can execute a 2 minute drive with excellence. Really proud of the entire team - offense, defense and special teams for pulling off such a big upset on the road.
Go Bears!
