Let even the NFL’s most innovative offensive play-designers explain it, and they’ll remark that sleepless nights are often spent, tirelessly searching for methods and alignments to gain an edge against opposing defenses. Finding a tried-and-true advantage — a condensed, bunch formation against man-to-man coverage — potentially working in the Chicago Bears’ favor, Cole Kmet capitalized on the Indianapolis Colts’ confusion, drifting wide-open towards the flat before snagging his season’s first touchdown. Drawing his rookie quarterback’s eye often throughout the narrow 21-16 loss on Sept. 22, 2024, Kmet turned in his campaign’s most productive game to date, capturing 10 receptions (on 11 targets) for 97 yards and a touchdown.
