WATCH: Former Notre Dame tight end Cole Kmet makes ridiculous one-handed catch vs Falcons
In a year full of insane catches, Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet might’ve had one of the most impressive.
The former Notre Dame standout snagged a pass from quarterback Justin Fields in stride with one hand. It’s not even that he hauled it in with one hand, but the fact that he was able to hold onto the ball – despite contact from Falcons cornerback A.J. Terrell.

The catch is by far the most impressive catch of Kmet’s young career. A former second-round draft choice for the Bears in 2020, the third-year tight end entered Sunday with 23 receptions for 274 yards and nine touchdowns, the latter of which is tied for second place in the NFL.
Justin Fields breaks quarterback rushing record in loss to Dolphins
Former Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields had one of the best games of his young career thus far in Week 10 against the Miami Dolphins. Fields absolutely tormented the Dolphins defenders all day long on the ground, rushing for 178 yards, the most ever by an NFL quarterback during the regular season.
The Bears lost to the Dolphins on Sunday in a 35-32 classic, but it was certainly one of the best games of the 2022 NFL season. As a passer, Fields completed 17 of 28 passes for 123 yards, while tossing in three touchdowns and no interceptions.
The only previous player with 150-plus rushing yards and 2-plus rushing touchdowns in a single game was Hall-of-Famer Walter Payton in 1983 for the Chicago Bears vs. the New Orleans Saints. Fields also became the first player since 1950 with 150-plus rushing yards and 3-plus passing touchdowns in a single game, per NFL Research.
Bears fans are hoping Sunday’s historic performance is just the beginning of many more to come for the young star.
