The Bears traveled to Vegas and came home with one of those wins that last year's team would have lost. This time it wasn't Caleb Williams' arm that won the game but Josh Blackwell's hand.

Josh Blackwell’s Game-Saving Block

With under a minute left in the game, Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson lined up for a 54-yard field goal attempt that would have taken the lead back and probably for good. Instead, Blackwell shot through nearly untouched and got a hand on Carlson's kick. The block helped the Bears preserve the comeback win 25-24.

Blackwell called the block an "out-of-body experience" post-game.
