The Chicago Bears put it all on the line in the closing moments Sunday night against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Literally.

Devin Hester’s posterior was exposed for a national television audience when he reached low to grab a third down throw from Jay Cutler on a slant route. Eagles cornerback Dimitri Patterson, trailing on the play, grabbed out and got hold of the back of Hester’s pants, bringing them down with him. A replay by NBC shows all too much.

A full moon on a perfect night for football at Soldier Field was exposed.

Cutler was promptly intercepted for his league-leading 18th time on the next play and the game was over.
