They dialed up a trick play on first-and-10 to try and get something happen with a reverse. As the ballcarrier cut back across the field, quarterback Cam Newton saw an opportunity to help his teammate out.

Bears linebacker Lance Briggs was in hot pursuit and had an angle that might of allowed him to catch up. That’s when Newton stepped in and threw a block to knock him off balance and to the turf. Not the most violent hit, but he still put Briggs on the turf.
