Cole Kmet Scores Touchdown and Fills in as Emergency Long Snapper for Chicago Bears

In a remarkable display of versatility, Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet made headlines in the team’s Week 6 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Kmet scored a 31-yard touchdown in the second quarter, catching a pass from quarterback Caleb Williams and lunging into the end zone after a impressive catch and run.

However, Kmet’s contributions didn’t stop there. Following an injury to the Bears’ long snapper, Scott Daly, Kmet stepped in to fill the role. Despite it being an unusual task for a tight end, Kmet successfully long snapped for the extra point, helping the Bears maintain their lead at 7-3.

This emergency duty was necessitated by the Bears’ already depleted roster, with starting safety Jaquan Brisker and cornerback Tyrique Stevenson also out due to injuries. Kmet’s ability to adapt and perform in a different role underscores his value to the team and his preparedness, having mentioned earlier in the season that he had practiced long snapping.

Kmet’s performance is a significant highlight in what has been a challenging game for the Bears, and it demonstrates the team’s resilience and adaptability in the face of adversity.
