VIDEO: Remembering When Richard Sherman Fooled Entire Bears Defense on This Insane Fake Punt Return

Some fake plays come off as obvious, others need instant replay to catch up viewers. This one from 2015 was done so well by the Seattle Seahawks, that almost no one sees it coming, besides maybe punter Pat O'Donnell who hopefully knew the direction of his own kick. Take a look.

Richard Sherman's Fake Punt Return Against the Chicago Bears

The Chicago Bears looked totally clueless on this one, and in some ways you sympathize with them. That acting performance by Tyler Lockett was Oscar-worthy, or it should at least should have earned an Emmy. Richard Sherman's job was actually the easier of the two, catch the ball and return it before anyone realizes what the heck is going on.

The two show tremendous teamwork on this act of duplicity, and the Bears coaching staff looks tremendously unprepared in direct relation to the in-sync play of the Seahawks.

The entire defense sprinted towards Lockett without ever looking up, and from there the plan was pure poetry in motion. Seattle shows off, Chicago looks silly, but at least they managed to bring down Sherman. A touchdown here could have made this so much worse in the long-run.
