The Dallas Cowboys are going to regret trading Micah Parsons. His lack of presence on the defensive line proved costly against Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears on Sunday.

They ran the slowest-developing flea flicker I have ever seen with plenty of time to do so.

This one single play proves Jerry Jones probably definitely shouldn’t have traded one of the best pass-rushers in the NFL. Imagine just how many times this kind of thing is going to happen over the next 15 weeks.

Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears pulled off a flea flicker!

First and foremost, it is super weird to see the Chicago Bears do something cool. A franchise that has long been considered the laughing stock of the league may or may not come out of the basement in its second season with Caleb Williams as the quarterback. We’ll see.

Either way, Ben Johnson is a very fun play-caller.

He dialed up a flea flicker during the first quarter on Sunday that worked to perfection. D’Andre Swift lobbed the ball back to Williams who threw a bomb to Luther Burden for an easy six. It was awesome.

However, Swift’s lateral back to Williams hung in the air forever so it could’ve been a disaster. There were two less optimal outcomes:

  1. Swift’s lateral gets intercepted and/or knocked to the ground for a fumble.
  2. Williams gets crushed as he comes down with the ball.

Either scenario would’ve resulted in a loss of yardage or a turnover. And so many memes.

Where is Micah Parsons?

Not only did Swift lob the ball to Williams, Williams still had all day to throw a perfect strike to his receiver. He was not rushed. The offensive line held off the Dallas Cowboys’ pass rush.

If we are to look at the play more closely, it took a five full seconds to develop from the initial snap to when the ball leaves Caleb Williams’ right hand. The defense did not have a single player within three yards.

Where was the pass rush, you might ask? Jerry Jones traded him to Green Bay…
