Cole Kmet Blasts Bears For Being Lazy After Commanders’ Hail Mary

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet did not mince words after his team’s heartbreaking loss to the Washington Commanders on Sunday.

Kmet: ‘We Were Just Lazy’

In a post-game interview, Kmet ripped into his teammates for their lack of effort on the final play of the game, a 31-yard Hail Mary touchdown pass from Carson Wentz to Terry McLaurin.
We were just lazy,” Kmet said. “We didn’t run to the ball, we didn’t cover our guys, and we paid the price.

Bears’ Defense Collapses

The Bears’ defense, which had been playing well all game, completely collapsed on the final play. McLaurin was left wide open in the end zone, and Wentz had all day to throw the ball.

Kmet was especially critical of the team’s cornerbacks, who he said were “sleeping” on the play.
They were just jogging around,” Kmet said. “They didn’t even try to cover their guys.

Bears Fall to 3-6

The loss dropped the Bears to 3-6 on the season. They are now in last place in the NFC North, and their playoff hopes are all but gone.

Outlook

The Bears have a bye next week, giving them time to regroup and try to figure out what went wrong. They will need to find a way to improve their defense if they want to have any chance of turning their season around.
