Upon further review, I think this deserves a thread of its own since Bears highlights are few and far between.
3 Seahawks on him and he completes an amazing catch. And stays in bounds while being pushed and dragged. That, IMO, was catch of the year for the Bears. Not only amazing, but a game winner to boot.
Here is a link to a very good analysis of what happened :

At the time I was like "crap" - he didn't get both feet in. I still haven't seen the "down in bounds" still... I may have missed it. I'll take it regardless.

Knee was down in bounds. All while maintaining perfect control in one hand. One of the more impressive catches I've seen in a while.
Imagine if all the Bears receivers caught balls a tenth of that difficulty for Fields all year lol.
